Cuvée Primeur, but not "Nouveau" from Gamay in Beaujolais by the Lapierre family. We recognize the style on the purity that has made the reputation of these remarkable winemakers. A charming and subtle fresh and pure juice, between strawberry, pomegranate, red fruits, floral notes. Even better the next day.
Cuvée Primeur, mais pas « Nouveau » de Gamay en Beaujolais par la famille Lapierre. On reconnaît le style sur la pureté qui a fait la réputation de ces vignerons remarquables. Un charmant et subtil jus frais et pure, entre fraise, grenade, fruits rouges, notes florales. Encore meilleur le lendemain. — 3 years ago
Dried dirt and a touch of mushroom jump out of the glass immediately. Pomegranate and mulled cranberry with a bit of barnyard and potpourri. The tannins are still there, but acidity is more present. The tartness from the red fruit comes through on the palate with dried dirt, tree bark, and umami. This is definitely mid-morph. Maybe 3 more years would benefit this wine greatly. Still quite yum now. — 6 years ago

A weeknight dinner w friends & what a gift they brought: one of my favorite producers. What is surprising is how soft & approachable this is compared to, let’s say, a Lapierre Morgon from same vintage. Still, rather closed on nose, with a porous forest floor & red currant compote, but with muted acidity. It’s still delicious, but a few ticks away from infanticide. — 4 years ago

My first Saint-Bris! Pale lemon yellow color. Plush aromas of citrus fruit, white flowers, chalk and abundant fresh herbs. Flavors of unripe peach, all those savory herbs, green apple and lemon zest. Noticeable mineral backbone on the long and drawn out finish. Lively and crisp acidity. Medium-minus body and wonderful freshness. Vibrant and harmonious! There are Chablis comparisons here. Another example of outstanding white burgundy! — 8 months ago

Fun, crunchy, juicy; not overly sophisticated but solid value at <$20 — 5 years ago
Nature Gamay of very good quality, in the spirit of Marcel Lapierre (his nephew has told me). At the same time greedy, accessible, and with a very beautiful aromatic density which unfolds especially when one gives the wine time to air out. Superb for its price.
Gamay nature de très bonne facture, dans l’esprit de Marcel Lapierre (son neveux m’a t’on dit). À la fois gourmand, accessible, et avec une très belle densité aromatique qui se déploie d’autant plus qu’on laisse au vin le temps de s’aérer. Superbe pour son prix. — 6 years ago
