Remember first tasting this is 2010/2011 (?) at a dressner tasting where Pierre-Marie poured this for me. was absolutely blown away by the pure minerality and terroir upon first sip. I’ve checked in on this wine in subsequent vintages and haven’t felt that same spark, but this one (2018) is really doing it for me. Minerality for days but balanced by that creaminess that the extra time on lies gives you. Can’t recommend enough — 6 years ago

‘22 must have been very good in parts of Beaujolais. Black fruits with Asian spices and souis bois ,a vaguely dark metallic quality on the nose, tilt the bowl and grapeyness rushes in. Refreshing acidity, not exceptionally long…but enough. Cleansing and and bright. Slightly perfumed on the palate with a lingering umami aftertaste. Pretty stuff.

Absolutely lovely. Not some Duboeuf BN - this is a Cru Beaujolais that is young and sharp. On the nose, rose hips, cracked pepper and bright red fruit. In the mouth, cracked pepper, bright cherries and red currants. Bright acid. Moderate tannins. Medium-long finish. Not just a good BN, it’s an excellent Cru Beaujolais - period. — 5 years ago
