End of Summer Picks

The late vigneron Marcel Lapierre was a member of the Gang of Four, a group of Beaujolais producers who arguably started the natural wine movement. From the cru Morgon, this is one of my absolute favourite wines. Made from 70-year-old vines, it’s plush and velvety, and every sip is even better than the one before. Aromas of red fruit, spice, and floral notes jump from the glass; it drinks like a Burgundian Pinot Noir with more forward-fruit and softer tannins. Serve this wine at cellar temperature of 13-15F, it will seem a bit cold to our North American palates but this is the correct cellar or serving temperature for light reds. This is the perfect wine for the best month in Nova Scotia: September!
