Very nice. Dark for Beaujolais. Serious, carbonique complexity

Dec 26th, 2022Wilder, juicier, more feral than the 2017 Chamonard Madone Fleurie tried side by side. Less development in the bottle, fresher, cleaner, juicier. Really quite nice, pure tart length. Maybe a 9.3 if this holds up in the fridge.

Feb 28th, 2022Outstanding. One of relatively few 2018s that I have thoroughly enjoyed so far. Excellent balance of fruit, structure, acid and tannin.

Jun 18th, 2020Black cherry and bracing acidity right off the bat. Secondary wave is more woodsy - leafy tobacco and mushrooms. I would love to have this with roast chicken on a Sunday evening.
