Which wines? As always, depends on specifics.

On Thursday night the St Albans University of the Third Age wine tasting group met at Malcolm’s house, a lovely Victorian building where we were all envious of the original underground arched brick purpose-built wine cellar with its arched brick bins.
Château de Pizay 2011
AC Beaujolais (£7.49)
Light, joyful and refreshing
Our host had stayed several times at the Chateau’s hotel and dined in their gourmet restaurant and is an enthusiast for their wines, hence two from this winery in this tasting
The Society’s Exhibition Fleurie, 2011
AC Fleurie (£9.50)
Exclusive blend for The Wine Society (TWS) of fruit from four estates.
Beautiful rich and silky. My third favourite wine of the evening
The Society's Exhibition Brouilly, 2012
AC Brouilly (£9.50)
TWS exclusive, two-thirds of this blend came from Brouilly's best-known vineyard, Pisse-Vieille.
Meatier than the Fleurie, but vacant in middle palate.
Domaine Gouillony 2011
AC Cote de Brouilly (£8.25)
Meaty, savoury, full-bodied and rounded. My second favourite wine of the evening. I realised after the tasting I have some of this wine at home.
Château de Pizay 2011
AC Morgon (£8.99)
Wow, beefy and big and just wonderful. My favourite wine of the evening and I will be buying some of this.
Château de Beauregard Clos des Perelles, 2007
AC Moulin-à-Vent (£12.95)
Lost vibrancy of youth and not gained enough complexity in exchange, and failed to impress coming after the previous big wine.
What I found so interesting is how much one grape variety grown in a fairly small area can be expressed in so many ways, how little difference there was in the prices, and how comparatively low the prices were. For little more than a commercial big brand on a ‘three-for-two- supermarket offer you can get a real honest wine that shows its terroir. Note: Must drink more Beaujolais.
All prices in GBP and include all taxes, i.e. wine tax plus 20% VAT.
