Moulin-a-Vent Gamay 2021

Beautiful soft Burgundy red. But this Burgundy wine is darker than normal. Soft, gentle tannins. Juicy prune, soft fruit. Love this wine. — a month ago

La Roche Moulin-à-Vent Gamay 2020

Bought this 2020 cru at $50. While in Cleveland. Was assured it was worth every penny it and it is outstanding. Crushed dark fruits including fig with spices. Juniper, pine, camphor oil, leather and bitter orange peel. Truly one of the biggest and most complex Moulin a Vents I’ve ever had. A wintry wine for roasted foods. Has easily another 5 years ahead of it. — 4 months ago

Moulin-à-Vent Gamay 2016

Aged 8 years and introduced itsself with wonderfully dense aromas of dark fruits and forest floor. Fresh and peppery on the palte, but in a very smooth way. Dark fruits and black cherry. Finely grained mineralic Texture and a long, long finish! — 2 years ago

Château des Bachelards

Comtesse de Vazeilles Moulin-à-Vent Gamay 2015

N; like violet pastilles. Swampy funk, blows off, stones, interesting blue/black
with a touch of garrigue.
P:Lithe, somewhat saline upon entry,
trips over the tongue, such nice mouthfeel. Blackberries, slightly prickly tannins, this wine could go 10 more years. The panoply of flavors hints at tomato leaf, black fruits, with that ever present chewy tannin structure lurking.
Mind you, we PnP this one.
I could drink this …a…long ….time

Pattes Loup (Thomas Pico)

Vent d'Ange Chablis Chardonnay

On the nose : Fresh honeysuckle with a touch of elderflower, broiled lemon, soft cheddar and bubbling spring with roasted pear which follows through on the palate with the elderflower and the honeysuckle, as well as young kiwi. Has almost a sake like texture with encompassing weight but is light at the same time. The weight dissipates while the flavor lingers. High acidity that is incredibly balanced — 6 years ago

This is awesome. Incredibly vivid and well defined nose. So deep, layered and refined. Deep cherry fruit, pink peppercorn, granite and so so round and refined. Pure. Beautiful with incredible focus. Black cherry hangs at the end as well. Smells like classed growth Bordeaux or 1er Cru burg. Truly classy. The palate is complex and elegant with the structure and refinement of classed growth Bordeaux and texture of seductive Volnay or Gevrey 1er Cru. There is no carbonic here thus the more classic descriptors and burg-Bordeaux metaphors. While young this is as impressive a young MAV as I’ve ever had . A 20+ year wine. Stunning. Amazingly complex, nuanced and refined. — 7 years ago

Anyone who thinks Bojo does not age never tasted this wine. Beautiful aromas of dried black cherry, cranberry and smoke. My palate was assaulted with flavors of black & red cherries, cinnamon, spice and minerals. Plenty of acid despite the warm year. So obvious it was made by a Burgundy producer. A perfect cork helps. — 3 months ago

@Ira Schwartz I’m with you 💯. These wines are beautiful with 10-15 years of age and never seem to be running out of steam. I think the oldest vintage of the V.V. I currently have in my cellar is 2014 but I’m always in the lookout.

very pleasant, elegant, all kinds of cherry, raspberry and red currant on nose, some red florals, spice and an herbal note. great varietal typicity w/out carbonics - legit, classic style, has many more years ahead, mild tannins and decent acidity make this versatile for food options — 9 months ago

@ESF, I am a fan of this wine, cannot recall if I’ve had the 2019, but often find this cuvée on the discount shelves 4-6 years after the vintage, and it never seems to disappoint. Cheers!

Dusty patina (like walking through a Japanese temple) pomegranate and cranberry. Mixed white and black peppercorns. Uplifting acid (in a good way) that super complements food. TBL — 4 years ago

Third take on this one. Previous notes still apply but I taste a tiny saltiness in this one which is a bit peculiar. It's still very well made for an oak-aged Beaujolais — 4 years ago

Château des Jacques

La Rochelle Moulin-A-Vent Gamay 2022

“La Rochelle” is a 5ha lieu-dit in Moulin-à-Vent with a reputation for making wines that have great potential for aging. This is but a wee babe. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Slightly better on Day 2. The 2022 pours a ruby purple with medium viscosity and some staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe red and black fruit: desiccated raspberries, black cherry, pomegranate, flowers, dried herbs, a touch of barnyard, warm spices, and rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and slightly spicy. This is really high quality juice. Bravo. Drink now through 2042. — a year ago

Plenty of stuffing to last a few more years. While certainly a different style of cru Beaujolais charming is not a word I would use to describe this. A 2011 Fleurie Les Moriers from Desjourneys was far more approachable recently.
