An earthy Beaujolais, with some of the rural “funk” that characterizes many Rhône and some Burgundy reds. If you insist on your wines tasting squeaky clean, it’s not for you. But if, like me, you have a soft spot for the French countryside, you’ll love it. The wine is fairly soft and light to medium-bodied, so should prove very versatile at the supper table. Just know that you’ll be drinking something rustic.
