<p><em><span>&ldquo;Today, after a period of being the pariahs of the wine world, they are once again worthy objects of interest for serious wine lovers. This is all due to the magic combination of the Gamay grape and the particular characteristics of the best villages in the region, including the famous &lsquo;crus&rsquo; Beaujolais.&rdquo;&nbsp;</span></em><strong><span>Jancis Robinson MW</span></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Named from the forest of oak trees (ch&ecirc;ne) that used to dot the hillside, this region contained many of the vineyards that are now under the Moulin-&agrave;-Vent appellation. It is now the smallest Cru Beaujolais with wines that are noted for their aroma of wild roses.</strong></p>

<p><strong>St.-&Eacute;milion</strong> is the star of Bordeaux&rsquo;s Right Bank, north of the Dordogne River. The rich red wines produced in St.-&Eacute;milion, based on Merlot and Cabernet Franc, are less tannic and generally more fruit-driven in flavour than the Cabernet-based wines of Left Bank. Merlot thrives on the plateaus high above the Dordogne, where the soil is filled with sand and clay, a perfect medium for creating opulent, fruit-forward wines. With a typically savoury character, St.-&Eacute;milion wines are sometimes called the &ldquo;Burgundies of Bordeaux.&rdquo; These refined reds, with loads of finesse, are elegant companions to beef, chicken, pork and duck.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Solid and opulent, Corton is a Bourgogne&rsquo;s iconic - highly complex, impressively mouth-filling in a way that is at once sensual and structured.</p>
