WINE OF THE MONTH:
Wowza, do we have the perfect November wine for you! It’s the 2019 Chateau des Capitans Julienas.
The grape is Gamay and the larger appellation is Beaujolais. But make no mistake, this is NOT the silly, tutti-frutti stuff called Beaujolais Nouveau. This is the real deal.
The wine garnered several 90+ point scores, including 93 points from James Suckling.
It is packed with juicy flavors of plum, blueberry and blackberry, showing impressive weight and concentration, plus firm tannins for structure.
This wine will be terrific on the Thanksgiving table, and it’s a delicious sipper all on its own!
Available now at NCWC for 16.97/bottle.
