Answer: Cru Beaujolais, the highest rating of Beaujolais wines. According to Wikipedia, this term refers to wines produced within one of 10 designated areas within Beaujolais. Forgive me if you already knew this. I didn’t, but I’m learning. I’ve never held Beaujolais in high regard. Beaujolais, to me, referred to the insipid Beaujolais Nouveau that for some strange reason attracts buyers each year solely because it is the first wine of the year.
I’m told that the gamay grape and Beaujolais have more to offer so I ‘ve started shopping for wines in anticipation of the WineBerserkers.com Wine Exploration Week 3/21-28/2010: BEAUJOLAIS. I may not know much about Cru-Boo and other Bojos yet, but I’ve already started to sprech the lingo.
