Clos des Quatre Vents, Fleurie AOC (Beaujolais, France) 2018

 You can’t have Thanksgiving without a Beaujolais, and while this one isn’t in the nouveau style, it’s a perfect complement to the Thanksgiving table.  This wine is produced by a family-owned estate vineyard managed by Georges Duboeuf.  Offering all of the juicy, fruity delights you’d expect from the playful Gamay variety, this selection, which hails from the iconic pink granite soils of Fleurie, also offers a chiseled structure and a touch of earthiness no doubt a blessing from La Madone chapel, that overlooks this rolling vineyard.
