Every Sunday Tom Cannavan of wine-pages.com chooses a new wine of the week. For 1st February 2015 the Louis Tete, Chiroubles 2013 from Beaujolais in France is his Wine of the Week. Beaujolais is pretty much misunderstood as a wine: memories of the ‘Beaujolais Nouveau’ craze cloud the picture for many wine drinkers, but top wines like this from the leading sub-region of Chioubles is much more savoury, much more serious than most Nouveau, with abundant cherry and strawberry fruit, the typical sappy olive and herb note of the Gamay grape, and lovely acidity and balance.
