My last bottle of this unique beauty. Nose is like a perfume made with beef jerky and ground granite. So composed in the mouth, with meaty savory notes, dark berry fruit, and cooling minerality. Great balance.

Smokey blueberry juice. Good acidity. Very juicy, quite strong tannins, mineral. Already very good but should improve in the cellar.

A go-to dinner wine. Imagine mating a classic Cote de Brouilly with a Saint Joseph. That's this wine. Intense stony minerality and very pure Gamay fruit.

The stoooones. The stoooones. Just love this unique wine. Soft textured vibrant and primally geological.

Incredibly youthful and fresh. This is quarry wine. So many cracked stones and crunchy fruit. Just delicious. And great with my homemade meatballs.

Off-putting nose, reminiscent of hairspray and weedkiller. Palate: metallic, thin and acidic, with grippy tannins. On day two, smells weedy and highly aldehydic. Medicinal. Licorice and black cherry are the only other aromas present.

Better than 95% of Gamay from Beaujolais I've ever had. Sorry I'm not sorry

Awesome. On day 2 really blossoms. Big, rich and sturdy northern Rhone Gamay. Terrific wine.

Gamay from the northern Rhone tastes like syrah
