2023 Fabien Collonge Chiroubles "L'Aurore des Côtes"

From: Chiroubles, Beaujolais, FranceVarietal: Gamay Tasting Notes: The 2023 vintage has proved to be a fine year for Beaujolais, producing bright, aromatic wines filled with strawberry and cherry notes, and this wine shows this off brilliantly. From 40-year-old vines on granite, this youthful and bright Chiroubles shows off fragrant red fruits, pretty florals, and a lifted, crunchy palate that finishes on a mineral and slightly herbaceous note. We highly recommend serving this with a slight chill for the best results and ... yep! That’s about it. This Chiroubles is a refreshing, delicious, easy-to-adore red you’ll keep reaching for this season. Pairing: Chicken, turkey, or pork, picnic fare, weekday takeout, Asian fare, and, of course, charcuterie and fromage boards. Some specific examples include pairing this charmer with chicken wings, fried chicken, ham & cheese buns or sandwiches (or jambon et beurre baguette), grilled pork chops, pork tenderloin, veal chops, quail stuffed with
