Brooding, corpulent blue and black things. Tannic, but the tannins are well integrated. Avoids the monolithic qualities that detract from a few 2015s. #brun #cotedebrouilly #gamay #beaujolais

Soft and ready to drink now, has loads of soft, sultry cherry fruit and a smoky, stony component in the nose. Ripe and soft in the mouth, with a friendly whack of fruit up front, turning minerally in the back half, where a little tannin sneaks in.

Stewed fruit, raisin and molasses on the nose, picking up sweetness on the palate with clove, earth, plum jam and prominent tannins. Lacks the fresh-fruited Beaujolais profile I prefer, but still impressive.

This was more muscular and rigid than the Morgon, with slightly less immediate appeal but delicious nonetheless. Give it a year or two.

Bright medium ruby. Needs a bit of air to open up then yields a cascade of fruit- raspberry, kirsch and cherry, violets, earthy undertones and a bit of candied fruit without a hint of seemed. Very focused acidity and silky, well defined tannins. Long finish- lots of depth here

Gutsy.. Among the sure bets of 2017.

Tastes cheap to me. Big fruit, expressive and opulent, lacking subtley, sharp and wonky.

Not the best 2015 I've had, but every time I drink a Beaujolais from this vintage, I somehow fall more in love with them.
