Popped and poured; no formal notes. The 1998 Jadot Beaujolais-Villages pours a deep, slightly hazy garnet color. Medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. Dark desiccated, bramble fruits with leather and forest floor. Tenants have all the integrated. Acid is medium. A fully mature Beaujolais, that is very much alive and well, despite its humble designation. If this isn’t proof that Beaujolais has the ability to age gracefully, I don’t know how to convince someone. Drink now or over the next five years.

Bright Ruby color with aromas of fresh red fruits and hints of floral spice. On the palate flavors of cherry, raspberry and currants with notes of pepper spice, good acidity and balance. Medium finish, soft tannins, ending with a juicy fruit and floral character. Nice value, easy drinking. Drink now no aging benefit.

This is classic Beaujolais-Villages - still the fruitiness and softness of carbonic maceration but more intensity than basic Beaujolais. Black cherry, strawberry, forest floor, plum and a hint of violet. Bright flavors - very low tanning and high acidity - very easy to drink. Classic
