Staff Pick Notes

Domaine Bertrand has been a family domaine since 1956. Since that time they have expanded production to 6 of the 12 appellations in Beaujolais and have been Certified Organic since 2020. Beaujolais is often misrepresented by its nouveau options in the market, and while still heavily fruit driven, the character of Gamay wines can grow even deeper with age and time in barrel. The "Pisse-Vielle" is grown in a mixed soil of schist, granite, and clay, and aged a year in oak after maceration is complete. Bursting notes of raspberry and redcurrent followed by the clean minerality of the terroir showcase the deeper expression of the varietal and leaves you wondering what more it has to offer. Pair with a charcuterie board, grilled white meats, or heck even just as an easy going nightcap!

Beaujolais is the classic expression of the Gamay grape. These red wines (labeled simply “Beaujolais”) are approachable, grapey, and fun – ideal for low-pressure sipping. Beaujolais-Villages is a step up. Compared to basic Beaujolais, the rules for Beaujolais-Villages wines are more strict. Villages wine is produced in far smaller quantities. Beaujolais Nouveau is perhaps the most gulpable wine made anywhere, and it should be drunk very soon after its release, which occurs each year on the...
