Beaujolais is my favorite summer red wine choice. Its flavors are bright enough to be enjoyed with a chill, it has enough acidity to pair with a wide variety of food, and there are a lot of really excellent wines coming from Beaujolais Crus at reasonable prices. Morgon is at the top of my list and, within Morgon, the small hill of Côte du Py continues to impress me with their quality wines. Ludovic’s Morgon manages to show rustic earthy notes, classic for Morgon, while also showing desirable floral rose petals and red blossoms. With a 13% alcohol, and when provided a light chill, I really enjoy this wine after a long day of working outside.
