I know it's trendy to love these great Beaujolais wines, but the more wine I drink, the more I'm looking for the holy grail of flavor without heaviness. Clean pure flavors that taste "good" from fruitiness but evoke memories from earthiness (most of my good memories took place outdoors). And wine that finishes cleanly. This one does it, with controlled power to boot.

5 years in and this wine still has incredible structure. Fairly tannic for a Bouland wine.
