Brooding, corpulent blue and black things. Tannic, but the tannins are well integrated. Avoids the monolithic qualities that detract from a few 2015s. #brun #cotedebrouilly #gamay #beaujolais — a year ago
Inch perfect, and faithful to the appellation. Lots of that “blue” Brouilly thing. Fresh, lower alcohols and guzzleworthy. #brouilly #beaujolais #gamay — a year ago
Chunky. Sour fruits and granite. Solid; not terribly complex, but you get the feeling it was quite hot and dry here in ‘16. Super effort at getting balance and preserving freshness. #gelin #beaujolaisvillages #gamay — 10 months ago
Sour fruits, cranberries. Real energy and pop. Fine, fruity and transparent: the essence of AOC Beaujolais. Shows how great these wines can be in the hands of a grower confident enough to get out of the way. #chermette #beaujolais #gamay — a year ago
Vinified a la Bourguignon; no carbonic. Elevage in neutral tonneaux. Blueberry, boysenberry, pinot spice. Sappy. This is the type of wine that argues the case that great Beaujolais is truly Burgundy. #louisboillot #moulinavent #gamay #beaujolais — a year ago
Shockingly fine. Pure, energetic, fruity and engaging, with the extra intensity and complexity that comes from extremely old vines. This is as riveting in its youth as Brunet’s legendary 2014. Not as big as the ‘15 or ‘16, but way more detailed. One of the greatest young Bojos I’ve ever tasted. #domainederobert #morgon #gamay — a year ago
Slammable. Sour fruits, rhubarb, pulverized rocks. Pure, focused and clean as a whistle. Old school, in all the best ways. #coquelet #chiroubles #gamay — a year ago

Light ruby color. Garnet secondary hues. Hazy. Fresh bing cherries and strawberries on the nose alongside ripe watermelon, bubblegum, ginger, and delicate lily and lilac notes. A bouquet of sweet aromas in the nose. Medium acidity on the palate. Nice structure. Very light body. 2017 vintage. 12.5% ABV. Gamay. #fleurie #crudubeaujolais #domainedelagrandcour #carbonicmaceration #gamay #gamayzing — a month ago
