The 2020 vintage of this wine is on sale from 13 April, and I'd advise you to make a beeline for it. It's a great year for Beaujolais and here has produced a fantastic value, semi-carbonic maceration style wine that offers masses of uncomplicated pleasure. Vibrant and unoaked, there's fleshy black cherry fruit, freshness and acidity. It's just what you'd want from a simple Beaujolais, and a great everyday summer red to serve slightly chilled.
