Potel-Aviron, Beaujolais Villages (Beaujolais, Burgundy, France) 2009

 Stéphane Aviron describes his 2009 Beaujolais as “sunny wines” because of the warmth of the vintage.  Anyone who thinks that all Beaujolais is just tutti-fruity and jammy should try his wines.  Spiced with a touch of minerality, this 2009 Beaujolais Villages harbors not a hint of overt grapey flavors.  It’s the reason Beaujolais remains such a popular wine.  Try this easy to recommend wine with roast chicken, pizza or burgers.
