Happy food-friendly Pinot. Billed as from the Auvergne (although VdF), but very composed and not at all rustic. — 4 years ago

American geography ignoramus that I am, little did I know that the Northernmost tip of the Rhone- Cote Rotie- is the kissing cousin of Beaujolais. St. Amour is more midpoint, but has that great granite terroir which makes this long standing Cru Bojo (& under 20$) a perennial fave. It’s that mineral tautness I love. — 5 years ago

Something nice over the weekend. Duc de Belmont Côteaux Bourguignons 2014 by Jean Loron is a blend of Gamay and Pinot Noir. I love those grapes very much... Light medium body wine with red fruit character (redcurrant, raspberry), a bit of spice and a hint of mushrooms, round and smooth tannins and nice perfumed finish. — 10 years ago

A Gamay with some age is a new one on me but this was a very good and highly food friendly drop; well structured and balanced it has a richness very reminiscent of a ‘nuite’ burgundy — a year ago

9.3

Pretty concentrated ruby dress. Evolved nose evoking Burgundy. In the mouth a beautiful smoothness, concentration, between evolved notes and fruit still very lively. A pretty bottle full of refinement. It can be drunk on its own.
Can still age 5/10 years, maybe more.

Jolie robe rubis concentrée. Nez évolué évoquant la Bourgogne. En bouche une belle onctuosité, de la concentration, entre notes évoluées et fruit encore bien vif. Une jolie quille pleine de raffinement. Ça se boit tout seul. Peut vieillir encore 5/10 ans voir plus. — 4 years ago

100% Gamay.

Iron-tinted garnet. Clear and transparent.

The nose is royal. Complex commingling of floral note, red fruit, and minerality. Violet, rose petal, red cherry, wild strawberry, cranberry, tar, and iron. On the bouquet alone, this could very well be misunderstood for a Nebbiolo-based wine.

Structurally, the wine is built for long haul IMO. Grippy tannin, med plus acid, med low body (12.5 abv). 4 years old but this Beaujo tasted so young (who said it cannot age!). Still a lot of red fruit characters backed by mineral/stony frame. The same profile follows through from the aromas to the palate.

Pulled the plug on this bottle on a whim. No regret. Now I know I have to keep my hands off the rest of my bottles for another decade. Lovely juice! 91+ — 9 years ago
