Introduction
An opportunity to try a load of Beaujolais at Prince. I was looking forward to this with quite a lot of anticipation
Flight 1 (20 Notes)
Closing
Unfortunately this was quite a disappointing tasting, a couple of the wines were flawed. Having said that the wines from Thivin and Aviron were quite nice.
2021 Château Cambon Beaujolais Blanc
France, Burgundy, Beaujolais
Peachy with a slightly meaty/savoury underpin and floral top notes. In the mouth it's tangy, juicy, the fruit slightly muted, touch bitter on the finish with aa little alcohol warmth. Meh

2020 Justin Dutraive Beaujolais-Villages Les Tours Flawed

Low intensity aromas of earth, spice, a little muted red fruit, fairly anonymous nose initially, agitation helps the fruit to show a little more joined by wood glue. Ugh, wood glue dominates the palate. Nah. FLAW

2020 Damien Coquelet Beaujolais Kes Ki Dit
France, Burgundy, Beaujolais
Ashy whole bunch, dark hued fruits; plums and berries, jubey notes, pretty nose with a savoury underpin. A little sour and hard in the mouth, grippy and drying tannins are powdery, slight non-intrusive alcohol warmth on the finish. Hmm

2021 Château Cambon Beaujolais
France, Burgundy, Beaujolais
Slightly volatile, wild ferment over sour red fruit; currants, cranberries, a little Bretty farmyard. The palate is very much a reflection of the nose with a tight grippy burr. Meh.

France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Beaujolais-Villages
Ashy whole bunch and spice, earthy, savoury, muted blue and blackberry fruit. Juicy, fleshy, savoury, tannins dry the mid palate. Non intrusive alcohol warmth helps carry the finish which is joined by rocky minerality. Okay

2021 Stephane Aviron Côte de Brouilly
France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Côte de Brouilly
Very slight volatility provides freshness to the berry and currant fruit, a little spice in support. Touch of white pepper, savoury, concentrated with the fruit a little more black hued on the palate plenty of silky grip lends weight non intrusive alcohol warmth on the finish. Nice.

2021 Domaine du Pavillon de Chavannes Côte de Brouilly Cuvée des Ambassades
France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Côte de Brouilly
Ashy notes indicate whole bunch with lightweight red cherry fruit, aa little sweet and savoury spice here as well as a a touch of fruit lozenge. Very slightly sour red cherry fruit is a touch dilute in the mouth and backed by a floury tannic burr. Hmm

2022 Pierre-Marie Chermette Fleurie Poncié

More ashy whole bunch, touch of wood glue, red hued fruit is predominantly cherry, slightly volatility. That volatility travels to the palate unfortunately, cherry fruit sacrificed to this. Nah.
