The lightness, the barnyard, the fields of flowers, such complex aromas and flavors and lighter than an angel. This is hell of profound for its location and terroir. Winemaker is really doing this place justice.

Finessed barnyard, if that even makes sense, leads to booming fresh flowers and bright fruit. Focused rhubarb and raspberry. Dried earth. Structure to go for several years. Well-crafted stuff.

Floral, murky, showing a touch more reduction on entry than I remember. Very nice for two hours, but beware of goutte on the finish after a while.

Obsessed with Dutraive. Floral, soft, delicious Gamay.

Very light color, lacking the carbonic fruit pop. More of a lean, slight austere Beaujolais. Fading fast too. Drink now before it’s BROWN.
