crus Beaujolais

[mrdutton]

Today I went to the local Navy Exchange Package Store to buy a bottle of Jack Daniels. While in the store, and this is something I always do, I looked over the wine shelves to see what might be new.

I found a crus Beaujolias, which is something I would have not expected to show up on this stores shelves. It is the 1998 Ch Chaize Brouilly. Having not tried this particular crus I bought a bottle at $10.99.

I've read that of all the crus the wines from Brouilly tend to be the most non-descript and comman. Sometimes, it is not even worthy when compared to the Beaujolais-Villages produced by the major negociants.

However since this Brouilly comes from one of the major producers of crus Brouilly, I thought I'd give it a try.

Further comments will come later after I've tried it.

If anyone has any experience with this particular crus, your comments would be most welcome.
