Immediate, scrumptious, beautiful presentation of good Gamay. The wine was all around intense, with a ton of fruit and earthiness, a hint of beet quality, and just the faintest whiff of the esters that lean towards banana. Acidity was gentle but present, with absolutely no tannic structure. Only complaint is that the wine tended to be a little short, although the finish was pretty.

I liked it for what it is, a light, pleasant quaff with a simple weeknight meal or with a charcuterie plate. I was disappointed, however, because I was expecting something more sensational after reading so many 92++ tasting notes from others. Even so, a lovely gamay.

Even thought this is 'only' a Villages wine, it could easily pass for one of the crus. Very well made, great Gamay character. In a good spot right now.

A discretion sharp little charmer that was perfect for lunch.
