BARRAMUNDAYS WINE & VINYLThe Most Exciting Wine Region in the World
Two of the most popular wines in France are in the spotlight tonight at Barramundi: Chablis and Beaujolais. The wines of Burgundy are considered to be some of the best in the world. The three varietals used for these classic wines are Chardonnay for white, and Pinot Noir and Gamay for red. While the region is known for its reds made with the Pinot Noir grape, it is equally famous for Beaujolais, made from the Gamay grape.
Chablis
A crisp white wine known for the purity of its flavors and aromas, it is made from 100% Chardonnay. This wine from the northernmost area of Burgundy is almost always aged in stainless steel tanks, in marked contrast to white wines from Macconais or Cote de Beaune, which are aged in oak. The result is a very dry white wine with more concentrated minerality and less fruit that its oaked counterparts.
Brouilly
This wine is a Cru Beaujolais, made from 100% Gamay, as all Beaujolais are. There are 10 villages (Crus) in Beaujolais which make the finest of these wines: they are the only wines called by the names of their respective villages. Each village imparts a different sense of terrior; Brouilly tends to be earthy, with aromas of blueberries, cherries, raspberries and currants.
