WINE DESCRIPTION
Albert Bichot Château de Varennes Sélection Parcellaire Beaujolais-Villages is a light, fruit wine from France. Gamay is sourced from granitic and siliceous soils. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with a period of around 6 months maturation in inert vessels to harmonise the flavors without seeking to impart oak spice. This wine is hugely versatile and lends itself to a wide range of gastronomic pairings. It is best served lightly chilled to enhance its freshness and crunchy red fruit flavors.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Albert Bichot Château de Varennes Sélection Parcellaire Beaujolais-Villages reveals a pale ruby color, indicative of a thin-skinned variety like Gamay.On the nose, crunchy red fruit aromas, such as cherry and raspberry are accompanied by floral notes of violet. These aromas are complemented by subtle hints of earthiness and a vegetal character. The palate is lively and refreshing, with bright acidity that brings a sense of vibrancy to the wine. The red fruit flavors continue to shine framed by a low level of silky tannins that provide a pleasant mouthfeel.
