Very pretty wine, fresh and vibrant, great energy. Crunchy fruit, wicked acidity. Some effervescent funk blows off quickly, this smooths out and deepens with time. Evolves quickly and persistently, a living wine, natural wine done right, complex and expressive and also clean and pure. This bottle anyway…

Hazy appearance, mixed red and berry fruits, soft and elegant in style, some stem like spice comes through faintly in the nose.

Utter floral completeness with mineral and fruit and savory and length and I'm smitten. Thanks @Max Kogod

Can I get enough naturalish gamay? No, no I can't, so this fits the bill. Berries and iron and blood, oh my!

As good as ripe Beaujolais cru gets. Spicy (?), griottines, creme de framboise, mildly earthy, mildly savory.... certainly not reductive or overtly carbonic.

The most Burgundian Beaujolais I've ever had.
