Nice! Vegetal and fresh, grassy, nice and dominant note of fennel. Tiny bit of aniseed or so. Palate: sweetness is low, acidity medium plus, tannins are medium and soft. Herbs come back in the finish.

Fresh red berries, floral, with a lovely mineral and earthy note. Needs a bit of air to open up, but once it does it's a perfect example of fresh minimal intervention Beaujolais

While I find tinsel mildly distracting this wine is not. Beaujolais #2 of the week. More on the fruity side with very little if any of the smokiness I found in the first one. Just as yummy. Hints of basil and black licorice

Liked this one. Had some earthy tones. Possible whole cluster wine?

Slightly funky fresh berry, Beaujolais earth, unfiltered shows in the slight cloudiness. Has liveliness and tension that are standouts of well produced natural wine.

Mineral+++ on this fresh youngster! Needs 5 minutes to stop tasting like pennies, but then balances out to be a berry-driven, herbal, non-interventionist Gamay beauty.

Свежий, яркий, но насыщенный нос: летучка, лесные ягоды, пастила.
Во вкусе вишня, переходящая в томатный соус, патиссоны . Очень расходится нос и вкус. Развития не наблюдается. Нос на 9.1, вкус на 8.8. Не супер изысканно, но достаточно приятно "попить".
