($12, Kobrand):  The 2009 vintage is likely the best the Beaujolais region has seen in decades, according to veteran producers there.  It’s no surprise then, that Jadot, a top-notch Beaune-based Burgundy producer who has been investing heavily there since their purchase of Château des Jacques in 1996, made stunning Beaujolais in 2009.  Jadot’s 2009 Beaujolais-Villages is a delight.  It delivers plenty of ripe bright black cherry-like flavors and enlivening acidity.  Not candied or sweet, characteristics that give Beaujolais a bad name, it’s real wine.  Stock up for Thanksgiving and beyond. 89 Michael Apstein Oct 19, 2010
