Beaujolais Villages Gamay 2023

Red fruit, cranberry, perfumed spice of slight clove.

Red plum, nice tannin grip on the front palate. Chewy. Gravely. Pretty. Punchy.

Côte du Py Morgon Gamay 2023

One of my favorite wines I've had recently, the nose is an amazing combination of red fruit, violet, mushrooms and forest floor, all of which transfers to the palate. Fantastic to have with food or to drink on its own and contemplate. Hard to think of a better Beaujolais that I've had than this one — a month ago

Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2023

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2023 (S) pours a deep ruby/purple with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe strawberry, Bing cherry, red and purple flowers, red rope licorice, rocky earth and cool spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. This vintage of Lapierre shows the warmth of the vintage and oozes generosity. In some ways, this reminds me of the 2015 vintage. Drink now through 2033+. — 7 days ago

@Somm David T They’re up there. Certainly Top 6 for me. Foillard, Metras, Guy Breton, Thivin, Roilette and a few of the new comers are all right up there for me

I have some vintages of Metras. Honored 5th to the Gang of Four. Need to open one soon. Definitely, on the list.

"Cuvée Corcelette" Morgon Gamay 2014

Fruit dominant, not much length. Perhaps a bit exposed, but still very drinkable. — a month ago

Domaine Chignard

"Les Moriers" Fleurie Gamay 2022

This is a fun wine. Big, boisterous nose on this. Loads of granitic earthiness up-front and lots of very ripe dark cherry behind. Terrific whack of pure and rich Beaujolais sappy juiciness hits the palate quickly. It’s a little loose and sexy, which is a very good thing, but its open-knit nature lacks a little of the coiled core that would ensure aging. So I’d drink these sooner rather than later for their guilt-free sensory promiscuity. — 23 days ago

I think the write up is even more fun than the wine!

@Tom Casagrande, you know, seriously, “I’d drink these sooner rather than later for their guilt-free sensory promiscuity”, substitute a few words and we could be reading about you on some police blotter?!?! 👀🤔🤷🍷🍷🍷😂

Domaine du Pavillon de Chavannes

Cuvée des Ambassades Côte de Brouilly Gamay 2019

Ripe blackberry, faint mineral, much more fruit-forward than this cuvée usually presents, really drinks beautifully tonight, lovely Beaujolais! — a month ago
