Probably my most interesting encounter with a Beaujolais yet. Lots of fresh red fruit like strawberry, raspberry and cranberry, with some floral hints. And it has quite a bit more body and structure than most wines I’ve had from this region. Quite a bit of body and complexity for a Gamay wine.

Very restrained on the first day but opened up much more on the second day. Still feel it could have benefited from a bit more bottle aging as I don't think it showed its full potential yet.

Slightly disappointed with this bottle. We really enjoyed the 2020 but found this lacking a little in complexity and finish. Nice brightness still, and pleasant but not memorable. Paired with a braised pork shoulder.

Medium intensity on the nose with red cherry, black cherry, raspberry, cranberry, plum, licorice, violet, cassis, stewed Black fruit, pepper and toast. Youthful.
Medium intensity and dry on the palate. High acidity, medium minus tannins, medium minus body, medium alcohol, medium finish.
Can drink now but has potential for aging or further aging (short term).

Light red with lively cherries, raspberries, young plums with notes of violets and rose. A nice refreshing Beaujolais with substance and some complexity. Nice clean red fruits and subtle floral notes on the palate. Very pleasant and easy to drink.

Doesn’t have the depth or persistence of his other crus in the vintage, but this is a bright, refreshing, menthol-cherry fruited, tasty number all the same. Needs food to soften its cut.

Superbe Beaujo. plein, riche et intense. Les narines saturées de violettes, on croque dans un fruit mûr...À l'extrême. Pour un peu plus, on demanderait grâce et on abdiquerait en disant que c'est trop !
Excellent RQP, ce vin vaut chaque dollar exigé pour son achat.

A pleasant bright medium(+) body Beaujolais, elegant, Nose of barnyard and red fruit introduces a palate of cherry, kirscj with earth tones. Dry, low tannin and nicely balanced with medium-medium(+) acidity and 13% abv. Great purity in finish. With slow-grilled chicken wings, ideal!
