Been a fan of cru beaujolais when I first tasted a Jadot Fleurie 2000. Went back and bought a case and drank it up way too fast. Hard to find cru’s of good years here in Hawaii–but found the Jadot Chateau de jacques 05′, which was rated by Wine Spectator as one of 50 best wines of 2007. Bought a couple cases and now have just three precious bottles left. And they are improving. I think 08′ crus will be way better than 06′ and 07′.

Thanks for the tip on Gamay, I’ll try that at my next meal with friends visiting.

I’ve always been a fan of cru Beauj, but have been drinking a LOT more of it lately with Burdundy and CA Pinot Noir prices going through the roof. For the 05s I’ve had lately, prices have been $14-19, and for the most part the wines are far better than an pinots I have had at the same price. Gamay is very versatile with food as you point out. I know 05 was a ripe year there; will the 06′s be just as good?
