Sep 26th, 2017Rich blackberry, raspberry, and plum giving way to savory core of incense, green tea, sage, soil, and leather.
Proof that quality Beaujolais isn't frivolous or short-lived.

Gritty, cherry, savory. Runway of at least another 5 years. Soft attack, round mid palate with robust finish.

May 16th, 2016A delicious aged Cru Beauj. Still had a lot of freshness left. Muted earthy tones. Bueno.

Apr 24th, 2016Herbal nose with red fruit. Showing lean and mineraly in the finish with good depth if not the most pleasurable.

Jan 18th, 2016Doesn't show quite as well with almost 10 years on it. A bit pruned and flabby. Younger vintages and more nuanced with acid brightness.

2006. Nicole Chanrion - The queen of Côte de Brouilly - strikes again. Supple and berried. Not terribly complex...but certainly not short on joy and personality.
