2023 Domaine Pral Beaujolais Rose
Tasting Notes:
Roses, ripe cherry, and strawberry dominate in the nose and on an exuberantly ripe palate with hints of fruit pit bitterness offering counterpoint. Attractive suggestions of salt and stone, and a soft texture. A landmark AOP Beaujolais bottling that’s more reminiscent of lighter crus such as Fleurie and Brouilly thanks to organic viticulture and 45-year-old vines.
