Restrained nose. Lacking the minerally fruit dominant nose of most bojos. Lovely palate though which drives this wine with a long finish. Not so much minerally or crunchy but softer and cherry- plum based. Unfortunately didn’t improve with air

First day: Nose all rotten eggs, sour on the palate. Undrinkable. Second day: delicate, bright fruit with a little celery on the nose and palate. Prolly best over the next two years.

Very delicate nose with cherry and the characteristic newly cut grass. On the tart side, relatively lightweight, some tannins. Perfectly ripe and very fresh strawberries and raspberries, as well as cherries and newly cut grass. Delicious cherry aftertaste. Not very complex, but an excellent and very balanced wine. Lovely with duck breast with root vegetables. Once again I am really amazed by Brun's wines. They are often lightweight and do not have the explosive fruit that some other top bojo crus have, but they are balanced, elegant, fresh and natural.

Tasty. Spiced red fruit nose. Darker fruit on the palate with good grip, soft tannin, and deep minerals. Excellent wine, top value. Compared to some of my more favored beaujolais, this is more masculine.

Delicious. Dark red fruit - only slightly smelling to me like bojo - on the nose with a bunch of dark fruit and minerality on the palate. Some spice. Great acidity makes it gulpable.

Good grip and depth and loaded with minerality. Red-tinged fruit on the nose, bright red palate. Tannins are firm and tasty and the finish is highlighted with nice acidity - the structure is excellent.

Great showing - I really enjoyed how this was thick and brooding but still had nice acid.

Light body and finish, as expected from a Gamay. A perfectly fine, if not particularly noteworthy, expression of the varietal.

Good mixed red berry fruit, but at the moment more about structure and texture than fruit. Very good.

Neutral on this one. It is not bad but I am not a fan of Gamay typically.

Sweetly charged fruit with spice on the nose. Les says structured and austere but light at the same time. Fresh stuff.
