July 11, 2023 - 2005 Coudert Clos de la Roilette, Beaujolais alc 13%
Some minor clearing at the edge
Nice roses and raspberries with a crunchy character. Bright and beautiful
Still moderate intensity with good fruit and acid in balance -

October 5, 2021 - Lovely nose of red fruit, underwood, cherries, and spices. Good acidity with tart berries and medium weight on the palate. Nice finish. A great Beaujolais made in a more Burgundian style that has aged beautifully. There are no signs of decline whatsoever, I would love to see how this continues to evolve with time...

Une teinte encore fringante; plutot foncée pour un Beaujolais, avec un joli bord évolué, grenat tuilé, sans signe de fatigue. Au nez, le gamay typique évolué et solaire, cerise confite, griotte, iris, pivoine, poudré et poivré; Il arbore aussi une tonalité cuiré, moisie, presque automnale. La bouche trahit plus le nombre de ses années, avec des effluves reglissées, de sous-bois, une fine amertume liée au boisé ou au millésime chaleureux (tanins trop secs?). Le gamay se montre acidulé, minéral, un peu court en bouche mais laissant une belle sensation d'eau, salivante, désaltérante malgré tout.
Un peu "old school" pour moi mais pas déplaisant; à privilégier sur des plats d'automne, des champignons vu le millésime... -

May 12, 2019 - This is one of those wines that confounds the 100 point scoring scale. Is it a 100 point wine? nah. There are wines, plenty of ‘me, that are more complex, more profound, more weighty, etc. But do I want anything more from a 14 year-old Fleurie than what is in this bottle? Hell no. There’s soft red fruit, some florals, velvety palate presence. Just great stuff that continues to drink beautifully and seems in no danger of decline anytime soon.

April 19, 2016 - Pretty incredible - this is very juicy and primary, but in a fresh forest strawberry kind of way. I've had a few 05 burgs this year that are already venturing well into the earthy part of their development so this really stands up well as a great wine to drink slightly chilled on a warm spring day. Seems like it has much life left despite its delicacy but highly recommended to enjoy now.

Will the REAL Beaujolais Please Stand Up, Episode #252, 6/8/2007 (link) 90+ points(CLOS DE LA ROILETTE FLEURIE) #1; COLOR-dark; NOSE-ripe strawberry jam, pink rubber ball aspect; TASTE-this Kills, great lushness, huge explosion, beautiful attack on the palate, this goes great w/ lighter fare (like a Pinot Noir), I love the elegance, strawberries are seducing me, beautiful oregano on mid-palate, nice dark chocolate bar; I'm really feeling this wine, (*GV takes another sip*) beautiful sourness, but SILKY finish; gorgeous; JR-90; GV-90+

2/7/2007 (link)(Coudert "Clos de la Roilette" Fleurie) It was good and satisfying but not great. Seemed thin and kind of hot and too grapey with not much structure. I have not liked a Coudert regular since the '02. I liked the '04 once and disliked it three times. Love the '04 Tardive.
