Ultimate badassery from one of the most underrated growers in Beaujolais. A real throwback to the ‘60s and ‘70s crus from giants like Thorin. Burgundian sap and an almost Northern Rhônish savor make this what it always is: the definitive and most geographically faithful example of the transition between Pinot Noir and Syrah that great Gamay offers. The hipsters can have all the natty, stinky carbonic swill they want; I’ll take this. — 7 years ago

tart acids in front with no fruit--after ten minutes, the acidity melded into the background and gorgeous fruit and tertiary elements filled nose and palate, becoming a gorgeous bottle of red Burgundy--more finesse than expected from a Gevrey. Stunning wine. — 11 years ago
