Crushed dried rose. Very dark colour for Gamay. Black fruit. Very Burgundian. I enjoyed this. Relatively expensive for Beaujolais, but worth the price IMO. — 9 years ago

Fun wine! Bit of roundness, rose and yellow fruit. Peaches and apricots. It's interesting for sure. — 10 years ago

Phew. This is some absolute serious wine. Lychee, candied apricots, melon and pineapple. All of that backed up by some great acidity and proper structure. More more more. — 10 years ago

Yay! We're back in Alsace with some awesomeness. Fruity, round. Caramel, mirabelle plum, and stone fruit jn general. A great acidic backbone make for an awesome experience. Very lenghty. Yum. — 10 years ago

Strange but awesome. It's like spiced Chablis! Vanilla, spice, and honey. Pretty acidic and funky on the nose as well. Would love to try more Jura stuff! — 10 years ago

Meh. Standard Chardonnay. My first bottle of Corsican wine. Not bad but no sense of terroir that would be very present. Some honey and quince on the nose, balanced and not very lengthy. Not bad but it wasn't good either. Uneventful is the best way to describe it. — 10 years ago

Bang for your buck! This is typically between France and Spain. Probably the Grenache! Poured very purple. Lots of fruit, oak, pepper. This seems very in your face, young wine. It's pretty lengthy too! Would be great with some age on it, but it already has bold flavours that are interesting and complex. — 10 years ago

Fresh and lively, strawberry, super light bodied. Poured really light. Very aromatic but lacking a bit of structure for any aging. If you buy it to drink it now, you will be super happy with it! — 10 years ago
