I am in Vancouver, BC Market and attended an excellent wines of Beaujolais tasting this fall which really did highlight the diversity and complexity of Beaujolais. We don&#39;t have a huge selection here in BC and due to a government strike there was no Beaujolais Nouveau to be had on Nov 20 (I know, I know but Its still interesting to taste each year if only to give my palate a refresh on full carbonic maceration with likely thermovinification) and had to wait a week.... In any case I listened to the podcast yesterday and when shopping for a wine to (As Chris T says) &quot;Intentionally Drink&quot; saw a 2019 Chiroubles from Steeve Charvet.&nbsp;<a id="" href="https://www.bcliquorstores.com/product/121135">https://www.bcliquorstores.com/product/121135</a>&nbsp;It is indeed lovely and offers more nuance and complexity than any basic Bourgogne that I have tasted in the same price range ($30 CDN). So I would echo your hope that producers don&#39;t abandon the cru despite the challenges you outline in terms of cost of production. Your book is on my queue now, just have to finish a few that I have on the go.</p><img src="https://www.guildsomm.com/aggbug?PostID=17294&AppID=299&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
