I can really get behind the wines from this producer. When I saw the Gamay, couldn't resist picking up. Does not disappoint.

So pretty and floral. If I'm looking to Beaujolais, then this is most like Chirouble but with a different soil inflection. Over delivers.

Magnums by the glass. Spicy, herbal, tart pomegranate fruit, slightly coarse and tannic.

A little Bretty, a little funk. Not quite light on its feet, but still has nice fruit and a compelling side. Undecided.
