Champ de Cour Moulin-à-Vent Gamay

Last bottle. Love this! Blue fruits, good texture but smooth. Can’t get enough of it. TBL

Nose has a hint of cheesy reduction on it. Richard’s wines are always so awkward young but so full of promise. Florals. Violets and full of purple fruits. But needs time to develop. But that palate. Wow. Wow! So silky and refined. Man, his wines are so so slept on. Superb concentration and noble structure. Ripe but significant tannins and echos of intense red cherry fruit on that finish. This is so close to a 9.5. Let’s see what air does

Absolutely my favorite. This is so smooth and beautifully balanced.

Just awesome. Enjoyed over 2 days. Cherries, soft tannins and so smooth. This is nothing short of amazing. TBL

Awesome nose. Finally opening up. Dark cherry and berry fruit and wonderful granite. A sense of deepness and richness as well. Hulking aromas. Super impressive palate with huge juicy black fruits but also top notch finesse and elegance. So complex and mineral with palate staining fruit. So pure. Wow. Big ripe tannins melded with black fruits and so much granite. Finishes with minerals but also a kiss of black cherry and blackberry. Superb balance and refinement while also being a typical big MAV

Haven’t had a Rottier wine in a minute. Dusty nose. Some cherry. Cassis. A nice richness. Really mineral. Seems closed but will open type of nose. Palate is lively and pure with a classic expression of 14 with crackling juicy dark fruit but slathered with minerality and so so refined. Showing so well. Structure to burn but really a great MAV.

Drank Over two nights. Was still tight on the second. Good, but closed.

Super elegant. Nice floral nose. Developed continuously throughout out dinner.

Just a short while to warm up, but winner!

All about minerality and texture. Fruit is partly hidden but who cares, this 2013 is beautiful. Young but approachable. High content of manganese in soil like Roilette.
