Château DES LABOURONS
Fleurie Gamay
Floral because it’s Fleurie? Maybe not but I’ll never stop commenting on how much I love that Cru Beaujolais sounds like it tastes. Violets just throw themselves at you like a bridal bouquet (don’t know if violets are traditional to a bouquet but if I ever have one maybe they will be) and anyway even if you are a commitment-phobe like me you’re gonna catch this wine. There may be rose or so and some plums and then just this wine wants to flow through your veins with happiness and if happiness flowing through your veins is something a relationship could bring then I am at least giving this a second date.

May 22nd, 2021Kinda like Jordan wearing #45...way past it's prime. Unlike Jordan, not sure this wine ever had a prime. Not good and not going to get better. Don't use this to study Fleurie or Gamay in general. Paid $9, might not be worthy of cooking wine.

Mar 10th, 2017Fleurie without the flowers. Reticent, unexpressive nose with a rather unpleasant industrial finish.
