2019 vintage. Solicantus red, Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux. Maybe slightly less rich than the excellent 2018, but this 2019 has a more elegant and profound character with an impeccable balance, high-quality tannin, and great length. Terrific value too. Highly recommended. Abv. 14%. — a year ago

Much bigger than any Fleurie I've tried. Very enjoyable. — 8 years ago

Patrice Chevrier, Saint Amour 2020

Wow this one caught me off-guard. The nose is quite intense with cherry, an earthy thing, some hay, some plum and some leather notes too. The palate is a fruit bomb too! This is very concentrated with big bright cherry notes, a very broad palate, a nice soft mouthfeel, some electrifying tannins kicking in in the rear, disturbing the force of the mouthfeel by adding a bit of an edge. The finish is long and fruity and edgy and there is a tiny salty, meaty note showing up in the very last moments. This is long and broad and very concentrated for a common beaujo that retails at about 10 USD (taking into account the current exchange rate of 1 USD ~ 1 EUR). This clearly overdelivers — 2 years ago

I just love a 100% viognier.... oh and a rare white Beaujolais mash up! Delicious, lighter less oily style. Honey-suckle and juicy apricot, zippy acidity. — 8 years ago

2019 vintage. Supersexy unoaked organic Merlot from mechanically harvested young vines. Dark ruby with purplish rim. Raspberry and flowers. Juicy red fruit and bright acidity and a nice little tannic bite. Delicious, fun and great value. Highly recommended. Abv. 13%. — 4 years ago
