Chiroubles Gamay 2017

Very stern and closed on opening. With air, there is some nice cherry fruit, medium body, good structure. This seems to be built to age 10+ yrs rather than for early enjoyment 🤷🏻‍♂️ — a year ago

Lafarge is doing great work here. Nose is closed but still so pretty. Kinky raspberry, smoke, granite, and very floral. Roses and violets. The palate is so delicate with great grip and intensity. Juicy and complex with outrageous fruit and structure. Sappy and pure with lovely cherry/cassis fruit that is super precise. Such a lovely pitter patter of tannins on the finish. Really well made wine. — 5 years ago

Trademark sour cherry, lingonberry aromas. Still not perfect, but enjoyable with a dp vial Bolognese pasta sauce. Before you know it the bottle is empty... — 6 years ago

Red and black fruits, mineral, fine tannin, med acidity. There’s some nice material here but this felt a bit closed. Will hold my remaining bottle for several years to see where it goes. — 5 years ago

Joie du Palais Fleurie Gamay 2018

Great, lively, concentrated gamay. Ruby colour/deep purple. Open black cherry nose. A fresh and tender mouth, with a great aromatic concentration developing aromas of rose petals, iris, undergrowth and peppery notes. A beautiful Beaujolais wine vinified in Burgundy style. Good guard potential.

Superbe gamay concentré et vif. Robe rubis/pourpre profonde. Nez ouvert cerise noirs, griotte. Bouche fraîche et tendue, avec une grande concentration aromatique développant des arômes de pétales de rose, iris, notes sous-bois et poivrée. Un vrai beau vin du Beaujolais vinifié dans le style bourguignon. Beau potentiel de garde.

Bel Air Fleurie Gamay 2014

I had to carefully decant this, as it had a lot of that light, floaty sediment that starts zooming around if you even look at the bottle the wrong way. It’s got a light color, and loads of tangy cherry/ berry fruit, accented by a musky floral note and some stony minerality. In the mouth, it’s quite fluid and gulpable. Bone dry, but with nice pure fruit and lingering minerality. Deceptively complex. — 6 years ago
