I Have Seen The Next Great Thing, and It is...

Cru Beaujolais!!! Morgon, Moulin-a-Vent, Brouilly, Cote de Brouilly, Fleurie, Chenas, Julienas, St. Amour, Regnie, Chiroubles... Wowowowowow.... This is it... this is the stuff. It's cheap (for now), it's readily available, and it's killer!!! The producers are learning how to use oak, and they are using it in the correct amount!!! Goodbye maceration carbonique... hello whole cluster barrel fermented Gamay!!! Ever since the great Beaujolais vintage of 2003 (I despise this vintage just about everywhere else...), the Cru Beaujolias have been on a hot streak. Making awesome wines that will age (and improve!). 2003 Louis Jadot Clos de Rochegres Moulin-a-Vent, 2003 Chateau de Pierreux Brouilly... both see a good bit of new oak, but the classic bubble-gum characteristic of Beaujolais (and Gamay for that matter) is still there. Get ready for it... these wines rock!!!
