Château du Châtelard Cuvée les Vieilles Vignes 2015 2015 Review
This is a very lush and vibrant Beaujolais-Village. The color is garnet, and aromas include ripe raspberries and cherries, with hints of violets and white pepper. When you take a sip, you’ll notice flavors of peaches and apricots. The texture is full but lively and energetic. It’s very pleasant and deceptively simple at first sip but more sips reveal a lot of complexity. This is an outstanding value for a Beaujolais-Village, and an excellent choice for anyone looking for a lighter red under $15.
