Domaine Chemin Pagnon Beaujolais Nouveau 2018

A Beaujolais – what else to begin with on this site. It’s not a Cru, nothing for the geeks now, “just” a Nouveau. Which might offer just as much enjoyment as many of the noble cousins, and that’s the case here.

Intensity that wins. Black cherries, sour cherries lifted by that typical bubble gum aroma – fresh, tart, nothing cloying here. Light in body but full in flavor. So juicy, but completely dry. Energy like in a Mosel Riesling. Lovely. 86 points, around 9 Euros, good value.
