Impressive and dense with nice dark fruit notes. Not as weird as other gamay and might appease even a domestic Pinot drinker.

Rich with great balancing acid. No carbonic. 100 year old vines - special - great length.

A little more Burgundian than I normal like my Beaujolais, but the density of the old vines are impressive.

Father’s Day at Jane for mom bd. Jordon knows and likes this wine. More like a Burg in its complexity and balance and light footed profile. Yum.

Going to revisit this one soon and decant for 1+ hrs next time. Elegant and could call this a Pinot blind. This Beaujolais can be aged.
