Impressive structure - red currant, dark cherries, piercing mineral undertone. Built for the long haul.

Medium body juicy gamay with red berry and cherry flavors. Good acidity and a touch of minerality. Nice with a light chill. I enjoyed it more on day 2.

This guy needs some age for epic (for Beaujolais) tannins. It is aggressive which makes sense for windmill wine. And yet there is an elegance. I'm so glad I got two bottles so I can try it again in a year or so and see what happens. Oh the fun of having living breathing beverages in your wine fridge!

Delectable: this is the"Terres Roses" cuvée.

[These are night 2 notes]. Very pure nose of clear-eyed crunchy ripe Gamay fruit and loads of slightly-smoke inflected cracked granite minerality. Lively and pure in the mouth. Not as tough as many Moulin-a-Vents. Some very fine-grained tannin in the long refreshing finish.

Reddish dark candied berries quickly turns to dirty granite with a little time in the glass. A rosy nose is there, but wish it was a bit more aromatic. This is way too easy to drink. (Garagiste selection)

Dark ruby, dark cherry nose with hints of earth, big black pepper streak on the attack, minerality, good acid, well done. Nice bottle of Cru Beaujolais.

Moderate ruby red in color. Raspberry, red currants, and lovely floral notes on the nose. Light bodied on the palate with tart red fruit, prominent minerality, surprising tannic spine, and nice length at 13% alcohol. This is a serious wine at a modest price.
