The Expert Series: France – Beaujolais
Hosted by Jasper Morris MW & Anne McHale MW
Gamay is Beaujolais’ leader and chief, yet the grape acquires various guises as it moves across the region’s manifold terroirs, as borne out by the tasting kit which accompanies this edition of The Expert Series.
For this revelatory tasting, Masters of Wine Jasper Morris and Annne McHale have hand-picked a clutch of superb wines which act as reference points for their respective villages or crus.
Discover the hallmark of Fleurie, the calling card of Saint-Amour and what aroma just screams Chénas, as the pairs’ renowned and refined palates take us over and under the topography – then into the cellars – of this box of surprises which is modern-day Beaujolais.
