Stéphane Aviron, Côte de Brouilly (Beaujolais, France) Vieilles Vignes 2013

($18, Frederick Wildman and Sons, Ltd.): If your tastes run to firmer rather than floral Beaujolais, turn to Aviron’s 2013 Côte de Brouilly.  Also made from old vine fruit, it’s stonier — you can almost taste the granite soil — than his Fleurie, but equally attractive.   He makes attractive Beaujolais…serious stuff.  Don’t miss them.
