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.
