Had an earlier vintage; always tasty & refreshing. No TN this vintage yet; in cool cellar for some rest. Note, this bottling is no longer a Beaujolais-Villages, but now a straight Beaujolais -- a high quality one, especially for the price. According to author Jon Bonne in his book, "The New French Wine, the narrative (Vol.1)" Lantignie "is often discussed as the next potential [cru] addition." P. 157; watch this area.

Bought 4 btls a little over 5 yrs. ago and immediately put in the cellar. Had 1st btl last week; had persistent funk aromas and same funk taste throughout 2 days of sipping w/ & w/o food. Thought these were going to be over the hill. Wrong. Had 2nd btl. tonight and flat out superb! Lovely color, not much nose, but sure is tasty w/pleasant tang that adds to the length. A very good Crozes. But, be wary of btl. variation w/this producer/vintage. He uses lots of older barrels in his cellar. This may explain some of the other TNs as well.

No rating because this tastes more like a laboratory experiment than a pinot noir that is true to its terroir. Very disappointing; spend your dollars elsewhere.
