Les Journets Chénas Gamay

Delicious Cru Beaujolais at Shakespeare in the Park tonight. Mineral notes with juicy red fruits. Among the best of the new arrivals for Fall.

Very sweet, also compelx

Medium ruby hue with a mild haze. Fragrant on the nose and palate with ripe cherry, strawberry, kirsch, and banana primary notes alongside secondary notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, also saddle leather, moss, and barnyard / Brett. Medium body, alcohol, and acidity. Soft tannins. Medium finish. Lovely, fruit-forward Beaujolais Cru with good complexity.

Domaine Saint-Cyr, Chénas, Les Journets. Vintage 2017. ABV 13%.

Good quality Bojo. Reminds me of the wines from Yann Bertrand.

Thanks to Anita & Cherian for introducing me to this gem! Beautifully delicate and yet powerful flavor. Strong notes of lavender on the nose.
