Famille Geoffray Côte de Brouilly Gamay

It’s such an interesting wine to me because it shifts so dramatically w age & air: at five years it’s drinking quite nicely, with a much more vibrant fruit profile than I’ve had w other bottles & previous vintages. Tasted blind my buddy thought Languedoc & quite jammy. To my palate not jammy as fruits more small berry & not so open knit. For some reason I’ve never seemed to open these bottles at the right time, save for now, which makes me think 🤔 m a damn poor judge or these bottles are finicky, or both! Quite refined & elegant, fine black currants & blackberries.

It’s definitely broad as is typical of the ‘18s but enjoyable on its own terms. Cherries, plums, violet pastille, a little licorice and earth, crushable after a little aeration

Generous vintage, but keeps its poise

Very complex, and changes constantly in the glass. Bright acidity, with low tannins and slight funk. Herbaceous and yummy.

14% alcohol cru Beaujolais. It’s very pretty and well made but like wtf is going on. It tastes like it could have come from Russian river valley. Not that there’s anything wrong with that necessarily and again it’s very tasty

Let the Memorial Day kick back begin...

Love this producer...savory, black/red fruits, mod tannin and great finish...gulping

Res fruit and forest floor. Restrained at first. Thin bodied, some firm tannins. Well made and elegant. Probably drunk too young (2018 drunk in March 20)

Head-turner. Super fragrant, with dark berry, lavender and smoke aromas and a touch of volatility. This is super complex and layered, at the same time powerful and structured, as well as precise and elegant. Fruit comes in waves, balanced by earthy tones and some granitic energy giving focus to the finish. Great stuff.

Wow. Pure and exhilaratingly ripe. Translucent magenta in the glass. Perfumed and packed with purple raspberries. Finishing with a pleasant brambly zing. Only a slight hint of tannins, and while I think this could handle some time in bottle it’s just so pretty right now. One of the top three producers in Bojo imo.
