The oenologist’s recommendation

- Ludovic Gros, owner of Domaine des Terres Vivantes. Blace 69460. Tel: 04 74 60 52 13. Peasant, baker, winemaker and sommelier, Ludovic officiated, among others, in the some Relais and Chateaux hotels in the South of France before settling on his farm in the Beaujolais wine region.

- The Chenas from Paul-Henri Thillardon vineyard. The right combination of fullness in the mouth with his power while remaining a wine of great finesse. A great success.

- The 2001 Fleurie, Domaine de La Roilette Coudert family. The expression of a very pure Gamay, it feels like the pulp of the grape juice with spirit. This is the real side of Beaujolais, without cliché, washed down with a flat Lyon. Clos-de-la-roilette@wanadoo.fr

- The White Golden Stone Domaine Jean Paul Brun in Charnay. A White Beaujolais worthy of the great Burgundies. The freshness and sweetness, aromas of lemongrass and honeysuckle, very floral, with a great potential of Aging. A history of man. www.jeanpaulbrun.fr
