772 | Wine | Gamay, $10 to $20

"This crisp, fruit-forward and juicy wine has expressive aromas and flavors of ripe red berries, with nice heft in the mouth, and mineral and spice notes."

"Bright violet to the eye, with some floral/fruit hints on the nose. Wild strawberries and fresh red cherries on the palate, and both framed by a suggestion of chocolate—with just a hint of tannins emerging with time. Classic, classic, classic beaujolais with its bright red fruit and silky texture; this is bistrot wine at its very best, and will turn the head of even the most jaded wine geek. Insanely inexpensive at the moment—so buy this one by the case (or two—yes it's that good!) for a ready supply to enjoy throughout the spring and summer months."

"The wine, distinguished and supple, with the fragrance of violets, has all the features of a Fleurie."
