Protheau et Fils Beaujolais 2010

Powerful fruity wine with raspberry flavours. The body is firm and rounded, this light red is deliciously young and fresh. A good all round red wine for meat courses, poultry and light cheeses. Can be served lightly chilled.

Beaujolais is part of the greater Burgundy region, although its climate and soil make-up are quite different. It's well known for its light, fresh and fruity reds made from the Gamay grape. The basic, regional wines come under the simple name of 'Beaujolais'. Wines produced labelled 'Beaujolais-Villages' come from the better sites in the hilly northern area, and the best of Beaujolais tends to come from one of the ten communal villages, Fleurie, Brouilly and Morgon to name three.
