  11/28/2023 - Eudemis Likes this wine:

  12.5% alcohol. Short cork of good quality with no wine penetration; a fair amount of tartrate deposits. The colour is ruby with some translucence and no sign of ageing.
  Lovely fresh nose of redcurrant with a slight earthy note; smelling this brings a smile to my face. The mouth is equally pleasing with well judged acidity and again that earthy note which adds interest.
  A wine that majors on purity rather than complexity, and this is exactly what I expect from a Beaujolais.
  A super buy.

  7/9/2023 - Eudemis Likes this wine:

  12.5% alcohol. Very short cork of pretty high quality. The colour is pale ruby, close to translucent but with no sign of ageing.
  The nose is intense and pure with fresh redcurrant. Similarly balanced in the mouth with excellent freshness, and a nearly piercing quality.
  Compared to yesterday's Janin MàV, the present wine is undeniably simpler, but yet very satisfying for those who don't mind high acidity (and those who do mind have no business drinking Beaujolais, so there!).
  In excellent condition; the durability of the better made Beaujolais is often underestimated in my view.

  3/17/2022 - Eudemis Likes this wine:

  12.5% alcohol. Very short cork of good quality. Medium colour.
  Aromatic nose with mixed red berries, a faint powdery aspect and a definite amylic note. Deliciously fruity in the mouth with just the right refreshing acidity. Coped admirably with slow roast pork belly.
  A textbook Beaujolais and excellent value for money.

  Floral nose and cranberryish red fruit in the mouth. Quite balanced with moderate alcohol and acids in proportion to the fruit. Overall, a pleasure to drink.

  5/7/2020 - Eudemis Likes this wine:

  12.5% alcohol. Good short cork. Medium ruby colour.
  The nose is intensely floral (I can't put my finger on the simile), with redcurrant added. The mouth follows suit, very aromatic with cranberries, some liquorice and high (but nor piercing) acidity.
  Very slight of body but with plenty of substance all the same. Maybe not quite as impressive as the 2015, but vg nevertheless, in a different style. A textbook Beaujolais, close in spirit to a primeur but more stable.
  A repeat purchase.
