  Retail $22. 100% Gamay. Master the World tasting Kit 241C. Another stellar wine curated by the fine folks at Master the World. This one comes from the smallest of the Beaujolais Crus, Chénas, named for the oak trees (chènes) that once dominated the hills. Bright fresh fruit, characteristic of most Beaujolais, dominates the nose of this garnet wine, mostly sour cherry and strawberry. There is also plenty of bay and tea leaf represented as well as a touch of anise. The palate is round and smooth with a present, but not over-powering, acidity. The tannins have mostly integrated in this nearly six-year-old wine and thus is likely at or near its peak. Wonderful.

  Super bon, cueilli dans une belle phase : le bois donne de la gourmandise au nez (!) et en bouche, un panier de fruits rouges, un côté floral aussi, des tanins imperceptibles, çà glisse tout seul, les 14° annoncés ne se remarquent pas du tout, et la finale reste parfaitement cohérente avec ce qui précède. Une très jolie bouteille, un vin solution.

  Impressive Beaujolais but hefty on the alcohol for a wine of medium body.
