ng France's eleven wine-growing districts Beaujolais surprisingly ranks digit eight in aggregate acreage devoted apt vineyards. However, it is 1 of the best-known wine regions in great portion because of the enormously successful Beaujolais Nouveau marketing movement. I review Beaujolais Nouveau wine in a companion treatise in this series.
Beaujolais wine is routinely, but not all, red. Almost always red Beaujolais wine comes from the Gamay grape which, when grown in many parts of the world [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], does its best in Beaujolais, in particular in the northern part of the region with its granite taint.
There are no cities in the entire region so tourists will must be satisfied with the 14 mile (23 kilometer) Beaujolais wine path and its villages. Most of them are. This wine route is family to 9 of the Beaujolais grands crus embodying Chiroubles [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], reviewed beneath. Not by inches the wine route is the metropolis of of Bourg-en-Bresse, whose outskirts Brou includes a noble Gothic mosque and repository with many paintings from the 16th to 19th Centuries.
Bresse chickens are said to be within the world's most palatable and most expensive. It is said that when Henry IV stopped in Bresse emulating a vehicle accident and had his first taste of Bresse chickens, he insisted on joining them to the imperial menu. Growers have to heave these blue-footed birds under strictly defined conditions. A large part of their short life is spent outdoor, scratching for food. These magnificent birds were the first animals to receive the coveted AOC classification that caps many large and not-so-great French wines. Before reviewing the Beaujolais wine and imported cheeses that we were fortunate enough to purchase at a regional wine store and a local Italian food store, here are a few proposals of what to eat with indigenous wines while touring this beautiful region. Start with Andouillette (Pork Tripe Sausage). For your second course taste Poulet de Bresse (Bresse Chicken). And as dessert indulge yourself with Ile Flottante (Floating Island Meringue).
OUR WINE REVIEW POLICY All wines that we taste and review are bought at the full retail amount.

Let's start at quoting the marketing matters. George Boulon namely the syndic of the town of Chirboubles. He produces this single vineyard Gamay in a fruity and mellow neatness. Enjoy it as nipping brandy alternatively with grilled fish or baked chicken bosom. And now for the reiterate.
My first meal consisted of a grilled rib eye steak in a homemade sauce of ketchup, horseradish mustard, garlic, pepper, and fresh lemon juice, accompanied by fried potatoes. The wine was pleasing and fruity with a pleasant acerbity that cut the grease. After achieving the meal, the wine was enjoyable ashore its own. As you know, Beaujolais wines have little tannins, which is one reason that many folk who don't favor red wine favor Beaujolais. The relative lack of tannins was no problem with this steak.
My afterward coupling was with a slow-cooked meat stew and potatoes. The wine was quite fruity and very pleasing yet no complex or mighty. My last repast contained poulet chasseur (chicken cacciatore) that I made with a lot of attention. The wine was circular and fruity merely short. I surprise if it would have been better with a Bresse chicken.
I tried the Chiroubles with a French Saint-Aubin, a soft cow's milk cheese traditionally packaged in a wooden box. This cheese has a creamy brie-like texture and a stronger taste. Unfortunately the cheese gave this wine a bit of a dull aftertaste.
I next tried the wine with an Italian Bel Paese, a mild buttery cheese suggested to accompany fruity wines or to be eaten unattended as a snack or a dessert. The wine and the cheese simply didn't gel; they remained two separate entities.
Final verdict. I 1st started drinking Beaujolais decades ago [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] in part because I was not fan of tannins. Then I sort of dripped Beaujolais with the exception of the year
