2014. Nose is all raspberry and cherry with a hint of pinecones. Nice soft texture on the palate while remaining light and high-toned. A pleasantly bitter finish filled with flavors of earthy, forest floor and dried pine needles.

Really solid cru Beaujolais. Nice balance of ripeness and freshness. Good concentration. Pours a medium (-) intensity ruby hue. Nose of perfectly ripe raspberry and strawberry, fresh rose petal, tilled gravel soil, some subtle cola spice, slight herbaceousness and just a touch of animal, bretty character (in a pleasant way). The palate displays focused, mineral intensity, with more cool, juicy raspberry and strawberry fruit, tilled gravel soil, fresh rose petal, and some subtle thyme herbaceousness. Medium (-) body, medium (+) acid, and low to medium (-) tannic intensity. Tasty, tasty. Could probably benefit from a short lil' stint in the cellar for two or three more years.

Carbonic and a little Bretty but with a great fruit-flower expression. Delicious.
