2018 VINTAGE - MEMBER REVIEWS
"Terrific value for money. I've given this red (in half and full sized form) to many wine drinkers and they love it too. Great on its own or with food. As with many wines, opens up well after a few sips."
Dr Thomas Hunt (04-Oct-2020)
"The first duty of Beaujolais is to be delicious, and this delivers on that beautifully.
This is not a complex wine, though, to be fair, the sunny vintage has enabled a bit more body than normal, but it is scrumptious.
If it were a pop song, it would be 'Shake It Off' by Taylor Swift, or whatever three minute crowd-pleaser tickles your fancy.
And, for a half bottle that's under a fiver, it's very good value."
Rev Robert Stanier (22-Sep-2020)
"Quite a deep youthful colour. Good fruit. Clean and balanced on the palate."
Mr Trefor Rosser-James (11-Dec-2019)
2018 VINTAGE - PRESS REVIEWS
Times of Tunbridge Wells (19th Aug 2020)
"With its generally modest alcohol, floral perfume, succulent drinkability and come-hither summer berry flavours, Beaujolais Villages makes for stimulating drinking in the warmer weather, This one is refreshing, easy-going and extremely moreish, with tons of sappy and tongue-tingling red summer-pudding berry fruit. Pop it in the fridge for 30 minutes before opening to give it a bit of extra pep. Very easy to drink, and great with cold meats, coq au vin, sausages and mash or a chunk of Epoisses. Good, clean - and very gluggable - summer fun. - James Viner"
The Guardian (20th Jun 2020)
"If you live on your
own, this popular, own-label bottling is the ideal summer treat. Also available
in full-size bottles for £7.95 [BJ7901] - Fiona Beckett"

"I have previously recommended this wine in half bottles and I am pleased to say that the 2017 vintage is just as good."

2016 VINTAGE - MEMBER REVIEWS
"I recommended an earlier vintage and I am pleased to say that this version is just as good. It is very reasonably priced and, although 4 stars may be stretching it slightly, this wine in half bottles is more than acceptable for everyday drinking. Strongly recommended."

2014 VINTAGE - MEMBER REVIEWS
"A very pleasant and reasonably-priced Beaujolais Villages. Just the job. Recommended without reservations."
Neil Butter Esq (14-Jul-2016)
"It's not a bad wine by any means and there's a place for it -- a light, simple, inoffensive and inexpensive bistro wine -- but it is certainly on the light side. I'd say it's light to medium bodied, on the fresh/high acid side with raspberry flavours dominant. It's not as much of an all-rounder as I'd been hoping. A glass with quiche and salad for lunch would be pleasant but I'd be looking for something with more depth to go with a meaty dish or savour on its own."
Mr Robert Trevelyan (19-Apr-2016)
"Definitely not what you would expect from a simple Beaujolais Village, this feels serious. It has depth and a lovely intensity of flavours. A very well made wine,"
Mr Thomas Choong (22-Oct-2015)
2013 VINTAGE - MEMBER REVIEWS
"Excellent Beaujolais, good fruit extract, served cellar cool gives the wine an extra edge. Highly enjoyable!"
Mr Malcolm J Davies (16-Nov-2013)
"I'm a really big fan of this wine. Cellar cool, as the bottle provides, and this is a feather-light, smooth-drinking beaujolais, with a plenty of red fruit, almost strawberry on the finish."
Mr Asa Joseph (11-Apr-2013)
"On first tasting this wine we were disappointed as it seemed bland and raw. There seemed to be a 'nothingness' to the wine. We agree it has a beautiful colour and the aroma promised a flavour it didn't deliver. We tried it with food and whilst the flavour improved somewhat it is not a wine we would purchase again."
Mr Michael Aldridge (20-Feb-2010)
