Guy Breton Cuvée Marylou Beaujolais-Villages Gamay 2018

Much of Guyand#39;s career in the Beaujolais has been spent trying to show people the potential of his home appellation by making wines with more complexity and depth than is found in the simple juicy nouveau released every fall. Marylou, named for his daughter, is a wine made with a shorter maceration from younger vines than the other Beaujolais he produces. It bursts with crunchy red fruit and tart citrus tones with some subtle earthy character. In the glass it is quite hazy, proudly flaunting Guy's hands-off wine making style. That said, it is very clean and bright and when served with a slight chill it is dangerously easy to drink.
