“Let Me Roilette” Sappy blackberry, black cherry, licorice, and gravel. Almost mouth coating. Big but definitely not bad. — 13 days ago

Thanksgiving accompaniment & interesting taste after trying the Tardive several weeks ago. Really was two different wines, & have to say I think this needed larger stemware to really showcase. That said, this is coiled & taut, a big Beaujolais with creosote & eucalyptus notes that I did not find in the Tardive. Black fruits & a near black red color. Plenty of stuffing for several years I imagine. The more I drink Roilette the more I feel it’s almost not fair to compare it to other Beaujolais. It tastes like it’s own style and a separate, distinct class of wine. A second bottle awaits, along w bigger stemware & perhaps a decant. — 5 years ago

Star of Thanksgiving. 🦃 After a two hour decant, showed out with black cherry, rhubarb, clumps of dirt, and leggy tannins. Medium plus acid. Just delightful — 23 days ago

As good as Beaujolais gets. From the oldest vines at Roilette. Have had numerous bottles of Griffe and it always delivers. Darker and heavier then typical Cru Beaujolais. More cherry and less berry flavor. Little tannic and ages well. Just getting harder to secure bottles. — 7 months ago

Maybe the best producer left for under $25 Beaujolais, other than Clos de la Roilette — 4 years ago

2023 is delicious. A little jammy, a little nutty, kind of like a peanut butter jelly sandwich that is weirdly delicious. Big yes for a pre-dinner snack — a month ago

Love Fleurie and the horse delivers. Gentle strawberry and violets, clear and clean finish, minimal tannin. — 3 months ago

N: Caught between Burg and CDP.
Pepper, garrigue, souis bois, black and red, animalistic in the best way. it smells tarry, spice, dark fruits. ( so far, it’s giving the last Clos de Roilette a run for it’s money)
P: light textured and deep, ( ha) tarry, plums, liquorice, chalky blackness.
Amazing Fleurie!

The Tardive really is an uptick in depth though this is such kick ass Beaujolais I’ve always felt it deserves its own category (Kick A- Beaujo). Black cherries, but seriously black, oodles of fruit but it’s the minerality & acid that sets it apart, along w the depth. Medium bodied, taut( not tight somehow). Ribena with cracked black pepper nose. Blind tasting w friends but guessed to be every region but Beaujo. If I remember the history right, this is more of a Moulin Vent property, so makes some sense it has such gravitas- which is what it is, a joyous wine with gravitas. Dressner importer. Oh, and it’s ok to try now, it’s not infanticide. 25$ on sale- that’s just stupid. — 5 years ago
