Wonderful fruit concentration, serious acidity and big league minerality. Aromas are somewhat reticent initially, but the palate is explosive, intense and persistent right from the get-go. Think raspberry, blood orange, Asian spice, old copper pennies. Already fairly well-aged, the tannin structure gives me confidence for excellent mid-term cellaring potential. Might be difficult to find in the US market, but consumers should buy with the utmost confidence- especially at this price point. Superb! — 5 years ago
More body than the other 2005. Plot lays on opposite ends of the road. A little more body. — 8 years ago

This seductively perfumed Beaujolais perfectly captures the charm of the vintage: balance, tension and seamless texture, with noteworthy purity and energy, make the Grand Cras Irresistible now, although a little patience will bring greater depth and complexity.

Inch perfect, and faithful to the appellation. Lots of that “blue” Brouilly thing. Fresh, lower alcohols and guzzleworthy. #brouilly #beaujolais #gamay — 5 years ago

Surprised at a very decent showing of a Morgon priced like the 1990s by a producer unknown to me. A bit smoother style than I prefer but dark red fruits& black currants, medium acid. Not in funky style or carbonic maceration that I can detect- just straight up, down the middle Cru Beaujo for 17$ — 10 months ago
