Beaujolais Villages Gamay
Fresh ripe dark berries and spice, heavier weight than previous vintages, more verve than the raisins less tannic than the Morgons. Better outta the fridge on day 2

Aug 17th, 2021Packs a punch way above a Villages wine. The ‘18 has clean and bright cherry-almond notes, Morgon-like smoothness, and some lighter carbonic notes (a bit of banana?) but nothing crazy, and with some air, it is singing.

Nov 11th, 2020A good reminder that winemakers matter. Even in the years when it's all about raspberry. Foillard expertly assembles down to his Village.
Has mild but present aromatics, a depth of flavor playing off of texture. Crackly gravel, tart crunch, green stem.
This isn't a red berry blanket statement. This is raspberry jam. The seeds and all. Leaves you feeling raspberries 'aint so boring if you can actually taste what a raspberry tastes like.

Light red with a light funk. Enjoyed at Nari in SF.
