La Fontaine A Beaujolais

Clos De La Roilette

Clos de la Roilette Griffe du Marquis Fleurie Gamay 2012

My favorite Roilette bottling. Old vine; 90+. This is proof that Cru Beaujolais can age. Darker and heavier than your typical Gamay. Darker fruit, mix of red and black fruit. More structure and a little oak, medium tannins. Becoming harder and harder to source. Have a vertical from 2013 to 2020. — 7 days ago

Clos De La Roilette

Cuvée Tardive Fleurie Gamay 2023

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 — 2 months ago

Beaujolais Nouveau Gamay 2024

Had it right out of the barrel on the 3rd Thursday in November! Dark ruby red, spice and pepper accents, sweetened over time, paired nicely with a traditional Coq au Vin. — 2 months ago

Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2018

Always lovely and fun to try with a bit more age. Still lots of flowers and cherry but with a notably darker edge now. Dangerously drinkable while still being very interesting. Good pairing with a Christmas Eve ham from hometown bbq. — a month ago

Côte du Py Morgon Gamay 2014

This is much more backward and has a tannic edge to it, dark fruits, good length, I suspect that this will always show that tannic edge, big and richer than the Traboules, but I prefer the refined aromatics and balance of the Traboules tonight. — 2 months ago

So much better the day after we opened it! Rich fruit forward and a bit of spice. Flavors of cherry, raspberry and a bit of spice. — 2 months ago

Beaujolais-Villages Gamay

Medium plum-toned ruby in color, with aromas of strawberry, tart red cherry, banana, raspberry, and cranberry. Dry with medium-plus acidity and a medium body. Bright, balanced, and refreshing.

Côte du Py Morgon Gamay

W64 200, Xmas day family wine 3L perfect in every way, what a cracker, silky berries, in the same level as say Gevrey Chambertan, without the expense. Just had a rethink, this now goes to my top rated wine. — a month ago

Château Thivin

"Reverdon" Brouilly Gamay 2022

Fruit forward. Like a nice Pinot noir. From Kermit lynch. — 2 months ago
