the same way as London hotels compete with each other to deliver the first grouse of the season to their customers on the Glorious
12thl This year we will be shipping, for
November 16th, a Beaujolais Vil lages Primeur 2000 at £4.59, which will be a fine example of this versa
tile style of wine. The grapes which go into the Primeur
have been sourced in and around St
Amour. Picking started on September 7th
when conditions were perfect and the Gamay grapes were beautifully ripe. The wine has been bottled unfiltered to maintain the firm and smooth tannins. The wine has a richness and depth with an intense colour reminiscent of
amethyst. Beaujolais Primeur has fallen out of
favour in recent years, but we wine drinkers should be reminded that this is a unique style of wine which matches perfectly with game, fish or particularly
lamb. In the meantime, I would like to rec
ommend a 1998 Beaujolais which we are
offering this week at £3.69. It is a lightish, very clean, fruity, easy-drinking wine with no tannin, per
fect for drinking on its own. ©Andrew Byrne is a partner in
