Ultimate badassery from one of the most underrated growers in Beaujolais. A real throwback to the ‘60s and ‘70s crus from giants like Thorin. Burgundian sap and an almost Northern Rhônish savor make this what it always is: the definitive and most geographically faithful example of the transition between Pinot Noir and Syrah that great Gamay offers. The hipsters can have all the natty, stinky carbonic swill they want; I’ll take this.

Fantastic! Ripe strawberries, pepper, and vanilla all coaxed into an aromatic package. Loved this. A favorite.

Make sure to let this open up, classic Beaujolais with ripe strawberries and a hint of pepper. Very, very drinkable.
