Tony Aspler’s Weekly Wine Pick: Vignerons de Bel-Air, Eté Indien Brouilly, 2012

Bring on the May Beaujolais! This named village Beaujolais is really well priced. Deep purple in colour, it has a lifted nose of cherry and spices. It’s medium-bodied with a dry, cherry and plum flavour supported by the thread of minerality and powdery tannins.

Food match: Ham and charcuterie.

$15.95. LCBO Vintages #159749
