Beaujolais Chedeville ‘Cornediable’, Beaujolais, France

When looking for a Beaujolais robust enough for India, we were a little concerned, as wines from this lovely French region tend to be very delicate.
Yet when we tasted the phenomenal quality of the wines of the 2009 vintage, we realized that 2009 Beaujolais is the perfect red wine for the climate.
The ‘Cornediable’ (devil’s horns) from Chevenottes has a classic Beaujolais profile of red berry fruits, including raspberries and cherries, with tangy minerals, delicious sweet earthiness and a hint of incense.
The palate is juicy and textured, with lovely bramble flavours and more delicious English garden fruits. Delightful with fine cheese, wild fowl or even Reshmi Kebab.
