A touch reduced; opened quickly. Big, dark and has the baked, almost Syrah-like quality typical of many 2015 Crus. Seems built for the long haul, though. #crubeaujolais #gamay

Fruity but not in your face. Nice structure and mouthfeel.

Pretty tame Beaujolais. Lacking the big berries and longer finish, but cherry forward with balanced minerality and fairly smooth.

So excited to explore more regions in Beaujolais. This was our first Juliénas and I definitely wasn't expecting it to be so dark and full bodied. Way more depth than a Nouveau, yet still incredibly light. The second you swallow it's gone though, absolutely nothing lingers. Would appreciate a little more finish on it.

Beaujolais! 🎉🍇 ... ‘Tis the season. Yeah we drink it all year, but somehow earthy, fresh gamay tastes even better come fall. Bright, acidic cherries with a long finish of spice and blueberry
