Taste test: Beaujolais

We quaff (and rate) four of the finest Beaujolais around. But which vintage prevailed?

OUR VERDICT

JULIÉNAS 2016

Rich with subtle hints of berries, this surprisingly complex and delicate cru is a cut above the rest.

BROUILLY 2016

A clean palate cleanser, if a touch on the raspy side.

MORGON 2016

Spicy and generous with a smooth finish, it is utterly addictive.

MOULIN-À-VENT 2016

Fruity on the attack with a lingering earthy flavour.
