Get in the mood for the best day of the year (Rotters' Fête Du Beaujolais at Noble Rot, naturally) with a tasting that celebrates the story of The Gang of Four. Legendary domaines Lapierre, Jean-Paul Thévenet, Guy Breton and Jean Foillard revived artisanal winemaking in the region – and stars such as Domaine de la Grand’Cour, Domaine Chamonard, Julie Balagny and Yvon Métras have followed. Ahead of Nouveau Day, Shrine to the Vine Broadway Market’s Assistant Manager James Eatwell will host a tasting of wines from all of these great producers. Come along and be reminded of what makes Beaujolais the most joyful wine on the planet.
