It&#8217;s a cracking vintage, with lovely purity and focus to the fruit. And this is a good example.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Henry Fessy Brouilly 2009 Beaujolais<br \/>\n<\/strong>13% alcohol. Sweet cherry and raspberry fruit dominates. Quite vibrant and rich with some floral violet notes. Juicy and fresh but with lovely fruit exression. Rich and quite dense but showing lovely purity and clarity. 91\/100 (\u00a39.99 Waitrose)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beaujolais is a bit unfashionable these days.
