Chateau de la Tour de l’Ange 2004 Macon Superieur, $10
Until I found this bottle in the store, I didn’t know they made any reds in Macon. I assume this is from Gamay and it tastes like a good basic Beaujolais. There are lots of cherries, strawberries, roses and minerals on the nose. On the palate, there is tart strawberry and cherry, accented by some earth and minerals. It has no beetiness, which I like as this is the one aspect of some Bojos that I find objectionable. It’s simple but quite pleasant overall, light-bodied, and has good acidity and some grainy tannins. Very food friendly. Importer: W.J. Deutsch and Sons, an Alfio Moriconi Selection.
