A little disappointed with this Ch. de Beauregard 'La Salomine' cuvee Moulin-a-Vent AC, this producer's 'Clos des Perelles' cuvee from the same AC - for around the same money - was a much better wine, I thought. Won't be buying the 'La Salomine' again.
C.....red, medium body
N....ripe fruit, sweet cherry. Not intense.
T.....lively acid balanced decent - but not great - fruit; a bit short, nothing's sustained; dry enough (Beaujolais??) to be more of a Foodie wine than a Quaffer; fury tannins morph into a crunchy edge; it's 'correct' but just too simple, a tad boring; lacks charm.
VFM....doesn't feel worth it's £16. Next time I'll buy this producer's 'Clos des Perelles' cuvee which I've tasted and thought was much better.

A little more dark fruited than I am used to for a Beaujolais but this was lovely. Drinking very well right now

Fantastic wine. Perfect medium weight with ample bright red fruits. Lovely!

Perfectly balanced with a wonderful savoury flavour. Right up my street.
