We constantly strive, throughout the year but most importantly in November and December, to find a great wine that will go with a myriad of wine-tasting scenarios. Something that is easy enough to drink solo or with simple fare, but also with sufficient body to stand up to the heartier, richer Thanksgiving meal and other holiday feasts. This is the one! This stunning wine hits all the right notes and is an amazing value!
Domaine de Thulon is a high-quality Beaujolais Villages from favored sites and should never be confused with simple Beaujolais Nouveau. It will fit in just about any occasion during the final months of the year. Made from the Gamay grape, this is a shining example of why this part of France is beloved. The Thulon family built their winery in 1987 on the former site of Château de Thulon dating back to the 15th century. The grapes are meticulously hand-harvested from the steep Beaujolais hillside. Such care in the vineyard shows clearly in the wine!
Turkey, ham, drunken cranberries, yams, mashed taters... bring it on. But it's a great everyday wine as well, comfortable with everything from pizza to charcuterie to pasta.
While the fruit is indeed the star, the chorus of other flavors, scents and body blend harmoniously to create quite the heavenly choir. Enjoy this fresh and fruity Beaujolais throughout the holidays and even for the next few years. It's a definite crowd-pleaser and will enrichen any gathering where wine is welcome.
The nose is a lovely mix of bright cherries and mixed red berries with a touch of bramble, earth and sandalwood. But the fruit is the star of the show! The palate showcases the fruit first and foremost, more cherries and raspberries with secondary notes of earth and a touch of currants. And the body! Once past the luxurious mouthfeel and panoply of fruits and more, the silky tannins and refreshing acidity keep this wine light on its feet and ready for the holiday table.
