1936 Shaking in the 60's by Eddie Clarke

If it is official that the Cote d'Or dies away with Santenay's well constituted red wines, let it not be over looked that the Cote de Beaune has some very interesting vineyards still to come.They are not well known awayfrom France, but more than bear inspection. Without being technical, it may be of interest to note that the elite vine yards of Burgundy use the black or white Pinot grape, though the Camay (red) and Aligote (white) grapes are extensively used elsewhere. Maconnais The winesofMacon are wellknown,both red and white, they are ofcourse on the lightish side. It is about six miles away that the vineyards of Pouilly-Fuisse are located. This ideal and original white wine is not only pleasant to drink, but hasa colour that is ajoy to behold—green tinted golden. Dry, quite Xull-bodied, it has the wholehearted support of wine drinkers throughout the world. Beaujolais One cannot drink, think or write about Beaujolais with out recalling the flash of wit which ran "The city of Lyons is watered by three floods: the Rhone, the Saone, and Beaujolais!" The vineyards of upper and lower Beaujolais are enormous,but how manyofus have drunk the authentic single, unblended wines from the communes of Brouilly, Julienas, Fleurie, Moulin-a-Vent, Thorins and Morgon? Though ofvarying character,these are absolutely first class. The Wine Merchant who offers these wines,certainly knows the bestin Beaujolais."Brouilly"in a good year, is a strong, full-bodied red, richly coloured with plenty of fruit. Beaujolais wines must be drunk fresh and young.
