Pascal Chatelus, Beaujolais Nouveau 2007
Posted on March 6, 2008
It’s March, so I’m about 3 months late on a review of Pascal Chatelus, Beaujolais Nouveau 2007 ($11.99). For the wine that makes up the Beaujolais Nouveau experience, this was a very enjoyable bottle. I found it to be very bright in color, with a high clarity. We sampled this wine with a reduced set of cheeses than we would have usually knowing that we should expect a very light red. As a result, we used only the soft mozzarella and the marbled Colby-jack. Both were great with this wine, the crackers could have been giving me a bit of the smoke aroma/flavor as I was the only one in the group getting that feeling.
This was drinkable all by itself, I have another bottle I’m looking forward to drinking Memorial Day weekend with some friends. If you want to pair it with something, I could see this being very good with chicken or pork. Pretty much anything that a pinot noir would pair well with. For the price it was not a bad French bottle, but I think there are better priced wines with less adieu. Of course, if you are going for the experience and not 3 months late, then rock out with this one.
