Marcel Lapierre
Le Beaujolais Gamay
Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
This wine looks medium-dark ruby in the glass. The nose is electric. A whiff of smoke gives way to black cherry and currant aromas, but the smoke lingers and reappears on each swirl. The palate is elegant and smooth, with red fruit flavors draped in a savory shawl. The tannins are a bit tame, but the acidity is refreshing. Pair it with a mild, soft cheese, or a Nicoise salad.

Baller. Pure Lapierre style. Spicy nose with the utmost finesse on the palate.

A little “flat” to me. Did open up & evolve with time and some food, but the entry-level “Raisins” provides a more memorable palate, imo.

Maybe needs a bit longer in the bottle? Didn’t get much.

Very disjointed, embryonic. Plums, med acid, not showing much. Hope this just needs some more time in bottle
