Christophe Pacalet Chenas 2016 skus_30188929 bringing some of the lighterThe northern part of Beaujolais is divided into ten "Crus," the smallest of which is known as Chnas. Christophe Pacalet's Chnas bottling, made from Gamay, is a touch gamey, with pure aromas of freshly crushed mixed berries. Lean, bright, focused red fruit that's a little bit earthy. Fresh enough to drink on a hot summer day but with a flavor profile that can't help but remind you of autumn. Super food friendly and relentlessly quaffable.
