Inaugural release from Pauline, Raphaël Bérèche’s wife. Made of old-vine Pinot Noir from her own family’s estate. 48 months on lees and with a dosage of 3.5 g/l. Scarce as hen’s teeth with a mere 1996 bottles produced. Delicious, though I did find it a tad simple (and primary). Heaps of green apples and citrus fruits. Tasted almost like Zapple for those in the know. Air did coax out the more mineralic elements, along with hints of nuttiness and toast. Good energy. A lovely first release and definitely one to follow. — 8 months ago

Fan-Freaking-Tastic! Everything a top level village cru Beaujolais should be,; and then some. Well done! My favorite in years. — 3 years ago

Same wine in the same vintage a couple of months after. Prior notes still apply very well.
A Non-intervention style Beaujolais with a bit of barnyard funk on the nose at first but superb ripe cherry notes right after. The palate is very well made, with a suberb cherry juice note, a great acid drive, some grippy tannins in the rear and a long and fruity finish with a tiny salty touch in the end. Right up my alley — 2 months ago

Punchy freeze dried raspberry. Ripe red cherry. Crunchy and stemmy. Bramble. Wintergreen. Velvety, medium+ body. — 8 months ago

Rose’ only by DNA. It’s really a creamed white, flecks of rose gold. One of those wines that looks more watery than she is. Some textural viscosity, equal parts cream and acid.

Aromas of apple and fennel and white cherry and herbs. Flavors of orchard fruits - pear and apple nicely rounded out.

The Corsican wines I’ve explored lately remind me that really good stuff doesn’t need to shout. They can be complete, and that’s enough. — 3 years ago

Very pale gold, honeysuckle on the nose, a tiny bit mineral. Well balanced with just a hint of acidity. Very nice! — 3 months ago

I love good Beaujolais! This is absolutely spectacular! I also love wine from many regions in France, especially Saint Emillion, de Bourg and especially Bordeaux and others. But this is unbelievable! — a year ago

Really complex aromas of lemon, lime, slate and chives. The citrus carries over to the pallet with saline and basil notes. Lush and fresh. Lovely balance. — 3 years ago
