I usually steer friends to cru Beaujolais because the difference in price between a cru and a village wine generally isn’t that great. But if you’re ever going to cheap out and try to save a few bucks by going for the village Beaujolais, the time to do it is in a great vintage like 2010. This wine is mighty fine for under ten bucks.
