Easily my favorite wine made by a guy named Kevin. A little hot at first but mellowed. Very fruit-forward and light bodied. Perfect for an 85 degree October day

A little flashier and spicier than his pops' version, but ridiculously tasty, and wide open.

I was unfamiliar with Kévin Descombes wines, but this is a really impressive intro. A bit weightier and fruit forward than some of my favorite Morgons, but nuanced and lively.

Really great 2nd vintage from Keke Descombes. The fruit is from the high altitude lieu dit 'Charmes' although it's not written on the label

Surprising palate weight. On the ripe side of Morgon fruit, but not fat or flabby. Joyous and giving right now. Also wins the prize for most sediment in a young Beaujolais. #kogodwinemerchant

Loved it. Some light barnyard, but of the good kind. Bright, lovely.

Ripe and earthy with a core of chewy stone underneath decomposing violet aromas. Very Morgon-y. Kid is only 21 but I reckon he has a good mentor.
