Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages 2009: the word on the street is that it was hard to go wrong in Beaujolais in 2009. A good way to test the theory is probably to try a regular Beaujolais-Villages from a good negociant. Delighted to find that the 2009 from Louis Jadot sems to support the view of the street; for around ten bucks a bottle, this has all the charm one hopes for from Beaujolais: all the youthful abundant fun of gamay, with all the restraint and balance of a classic wine region: juicy fruit with perfect poise.
