This is the Domaine de Colette Morgon “Charme”. It’s a pretty big wine for a BoJo. Fairly deeply extracted color, nose has deep, ripe, dark berries, a little whiff of wet farmyard soil, just a teensy bit of crushed stone. It’s surprisingly low-toned in the mouth, with earthy dark berries again and lowish acids. Actually a fair amount of grainy tannins too. So this one presents a quandary: how long to wait for the tannins to smooth out but without acids to make that a stress-free wait? I personally would drink these within the next two years. — 12 hours ago
Seventy year old vines of this Domaine Colette 2023 Fleurie deliver a leggy, dark purple appearance that is backed up and confirmed by an abundance of perfumed and flavorsome red and black fruits. It is medium>full, well balanced and solidly structured with medium+ acidity and matching soft drying tannins at the long, tasty finish. A solid Cru, without much (if any) carbonic maturation, and one of the sturdier Fleuries that I’ve come across. — 14 days ago

Elegant and very fresh, minerally with a slight salty finish. In the middle of its drinking window until 2030. — 8 days ago
