Wednesday Warm Up
Jadot Beaujolais Villages
Jadot Beaujolais Villages is a wine produced by Maison Louis Jadot, a well-known and respected Burgundy-based wine producer in Eastern France. While Jadot is more famous for its wines from the Burgundy region, including its high-end Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays, it also produces wines from neighboring regions, such as Beaujolais. It is also particularly known for its Gamay grape, which thrives in the region’s granite soils. “Beaujolais Villages” is a designation for wines that come from specific villages within the Beaujolais region, as opposed to the broader Beaujolais AOC.
Taste Profile: Expect fresh red fruit aromas, such as cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, with a crisp and lively palate. The wine often has a smooth texture with moderate tannins, making it easy to drink and versatile with food.
Food Pairing: Beaujolais Villages wines, including Jadot’s, are very food-friendly. They pair well with a variety of dishes, including charcuterie, grilled meats, roast chicken, light pasta dishes, and even some mild cheeses. Their freshness and fruitiness make them a great match for both casual meals and more festive gatherings.
