More of that catnip. A nuanced and developed version of Gamay that just dances on the palate. Fruit doing a tango with tannin, which showed up a bit late to the party because it was doing a foxtrot with the acidity in the hallway. Brilliant juice. — 10 days ago

Dark ruby purple in the glass. Inviting nose and palate of black cranberry, blackberry, and juicy licorice. Medium full body. Medium tannins (only on the finish). A cru Beaujolais that will appeal to newbies and snobs alike. Just enough fruit. Just enough “stuff.” Drink now through 2022. — 21 days ago

Summer may be over but it’s never too late to drink a great rose. Had this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Smooth, floral and refreshing. — 15 days ago

Je l’ai trouvé plutôt simple, peu jasant, sans grande complexité. Serait-il dans une phase ingrate ? — a month ago

14, first vintage of this Chassagne monopole I’ve seen chez Ramonet, just killed it, so I had to uncork a 17. Light color, nose and palate redolent of citrus and white flowers, it’s a bit leaner than 14 but a very nice quaff after a tough week. Hopefully it’ll gain a bit of density with some time in the cellar but it’s a pretty wine now. Love Ramonet. — 19 days ago

Lovely mature redfruits and mineral undertones, definitely shows the ripeness of 2009, close to mature but should hold another 2-4 years, lovely. — 4 days ago
