2020 Aegerter Brouilly Cru Reserve Personnelle

Beaujolais wines are made of 100% Gamay grape varietal. Many find Gamay not a great grape varietal, some may even view it as a “cheap” wine. Don’t let people who doesn’t know their wines fool you, in my opinion, Beaujolais wines are really attractive, especially when they are aged for more than a decade, the seduction on an aged Gamay wine tastes even better than a top growth burgundy, I need to stress, only the taste, not the sophistication nor multiple layering expressed in red burgundies. However, when they are young, it’s not as attractive as an aged Beuajolais, although I must confess it has it’s own expression of charm, the charming sweet young girl with a very sweet smile type of taste. It seems this wine is still at it’s infant stage, as the grip and tannins appear to be rather prominent, which is a good thing, implying this wine can easily age for the next 5 to 10 years.
