Jean-Claude Lapalu
Vieilles Vignes Beaujolais-Villages Gamay
Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
Rhubarb, beetroot and sap. Nicely spicy, round and juicy. Precise and honest; not trying too hard. Previous Lapalu wines I’ve had seemed overly tannic and disjointed, but this one’s a beauty.

Excellent Beaujolais, little bit of spice and leather and crushable ripe red fruit. Yum!

Nose is pure vegetable and leaf and mint. Very strange. Palate is underripe red fruit. Kinda harsh, I’m puzzled by this one.

Beautiful classic gamay, easy to drink, light body and fruit forward, very neutral, lacking tarteness.
