A light red or (less commonly) white burgundy wine produced in the Beaujolais district of south-eastern France.
‘Adam from The Amateur Gourmet drank Beaujolais in a Nutella-coated glass.’
‘It's a dandy little red wine that may remind you of a cru Beaujolais, but a bit spicier.’
‘I would even have welcomed a bottle of Beaujolais.’
‘What works well here is this elegant but often overlooked cru from Beaujolais, strikingly violet in colour with a deep rich nose and a meaty wash of intense cherry and plum skin.’
‘It still does well and now at all the restaurants there's always Beaujolais by the glass.’
‘With Beaujolais, bigger is not necessarily better, but this wine transcends Beaujolais; it's closer to a red burgundy.’
‘Serve with egg noodles covered in butter and white pepper, and a glass of decent Chardonnay or cheap Beaujolais.’
‘This is often the most intense and alcoholic of the Cru of Beaujolais, with wines that can age very well and take on very fine raisin-like flavour with good age.’
‘When I started drinking wine as a young man, quite a long time ago, I used to buy cheap Beaujolais from very obliging wine shops in London's cosmopolitan quarter, Soho.’
‘When winemakers produce it in stainless steel tanks it has a structure resembling Beaujolais, Dolcetto, or red Sancerre.’
‘A big, juicy steak goes well with a big, juicy wine such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Shiraz, while a chicken dish is better with wine containing less tannin, such as a Valpolicella and Beaujolais or a white Sancerre.’
‘The weighty tannic attack of this Cru of Beaujolais is a perfect foil for a fry, while the smoother, fruity wash gives it a light, balanced feel.’
‘The ones to try are the widely available Valpolicella and Beaujolais wines.’
‘For those who could not tell their Burgundy from their Beaujolais, Parker acted as translator and guide.’
‘When a few wine makers had the idea to release their Beaujolais wines right after fermentation they didn't realize the impact this would have on their region.’
‘When I tear the foil off of bottles these days and see a synthetic cork on my Beaujolais or Grignolino that was chilling in the refrigerator I feel a sense of calm.’
‘All red Burgundy is made from pinot noir, except Beaujolais.’
‘Two cru Beaujolais from DuBoeuf are showing well.’
‘He certainly put Beaujolais on the world wine map, but over the past few years his reputation has been tarnished.’
‘But it also drives consumers to expect that all Beaujolais is fruit forward and should be consumed right away.’
