Stéphane Aviron makes exceptional Beaujolais ranging from this Villages bottling to a selection of village cru wines made from old vines. This entry-level offering is the least expensive, and for $14 it offers very nice fruit recalling cherries and plums. Fresh, but with a suggestion of subtle sweetness from ripe fruit.
