Community Tasting Notes (average 89.7 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 62 notes) | |
| Tasted by BryAG on 1/6/2010 & rated 90 points: Special value play from Jadot. Great freshness and complexity on the nose. Vibrant acidity with tart berries and herbs on the mid palate. Finishes lengthy and clean. Tannins are structured but never intrusive. Lots of complexity for a value priced example. Will buy more. (389 views) | |
| Tasted by pilot360 on 12/18/2009 & rated 89 points: Nice dark purple color, great minerality to the nose with some citrus and red fruits. Medium body with a lush red fruits, nice cranberry tartness, just right amount of blood/iron. Overall, especially for the price, an excellent bottle of wine. (471 views) | |
| Tasted by DrEdwardo on 11/23/2009 & rated 90 points: Somewhat uncharacteristically dark colour. Red fruit, citrus, floral nose. Muscular, almost syrah-enhanced-like, lemon-squirt, mineral strawberry entry, fresh lavender middle, lingering lemon tingling mineral finish. Nary a typical rhubarb-edged texture. (696 views) | |
| Tasted by foodie on 11/10/2009 & rated 89 points: Consistent with previous tasting notes. Still a ruffian upon opening, pairs well with food, and/or deserves a little aeration/decanting to smooth out some of the rougher corners. Much more pronounced spice flavor now: clove and nutmeg. Still, an enjoyable, muscular Gamay. (888 views) | |
| Tasted by Cobbster on 10/5/2009 & rated 90 points: earthy nose with hints of barnyard. Fresh cherry/berry fruit flavors. (1083 views) | |
| Tasted by lebanonOHwinelover on 10/3/2009 & rated 90 points: Went nicely with Coq au Vin. (940 views) | |
| Tasted by foodie on 8/30/2009 & rated 89 points: Gorgeous purple-burgundy ink. Fantastic nose of red and purple fruits, vinyl, cassia, minerality. Very smooth and silky in the mouth, relaxed tannins; the acidity is a little punchy. Still some heat. A palate of stewed fruits, forest floor, mellow spice, iron. Hearty, rustic. In its prime drinking window. (91) Addendum: Two days later, cork left in the bottle and no use of an air remover/preserver, approx. 3/4 fill, the wine is very New World Bordeaux-like. The fruit is ample and forward on the nose and palate. The minerality is more primary on the nose but near-absent in the mouth. A few hints of chicory or hazelnut on the nose, but nothing lasting. It's silkiness has been scruffed away, somewhat, and now has a more stringent characteristic. That acidity is still punchy. More herbaceous than spicy. Still enjoyable, but this man is aging.

| Tasted by Anonymous on 7/25/2009 & rated 90 points: Opened, poured into a decanter and drank over two hours. Lots of vegetal and earthy aromas coming through on the nose with custard and bright red cherry notes. Flavours of sour cherries with hints of vegetal and green flavours. A good amount astringent tannins, with medium to high acidity, medium body and a medium length finish. After about an hour the wine got quite tart…it was much better the first hour. Next time I will pop and pour, giving it as little air as possible. Excellent. 90+ (1327 views) | |
| Tasted by Cobbster on 7/22/2009 & rated 90 points: Very sophisticated and consistent with last tasting. (1481 views) | |
| Tasted by curtiy on 7/2/2009 & rated 91 points: Really enjoyed this wine, agree with previous notes. A lot of black cherry, excellent acidity, great with food. (1457 views) | |
| Tasted by rbenedetti on 4/18/2009 & rated 88 points: (1464 views) | |
| Tasted by jmht on 4/18/2009 & rated 88 points: A pleasant find on a restaurant wine list. Nose of black fruits, wet earth; palate of black cherry, black fruits, tart, balanced. It may benefit from 3+ years cellaring, but very enjoyable and food friendly now. (1715 views) | |
| Tasted by beetleinabox on 4/14/2009 & rated 90 points: (1505 views) | |
| Tasted by smazur on 4/13/2009 & rated 88 points: (1478 views) | |
| Tasted by Punshon on 3/6/2009: Deeply coloured and very structured. This really impressed after an hour in the decanter. Lively acidity and bright precise fruit. A clean focused wine of grace and elegance. Balanced and long with fine grained mineral tannins. I am going to have to get more of these and I am fine with the wine world's general lack of regard for the region as these wines show tremendous value. Cru Beaujolais is claiming a far bigger portion of my cellar than I ever dreamed, but I am finding their charms impossible to ignore. (1906 views) | |
| Tasted by slave2thevine on 3/2/2009 & rated 90 points: "Snowed In" in Maine (slave2thevine's house): With scents of earth, blueberry, black fruits, with a light hint of oak and alcohol that blew off with time this wine took some time to open up. In the mouth flavors of black berry blueberry, and dried herbs resonated across a 30+ second finish. Medium + tannin and light to medium acidity leave me thinking that this will still evolve for another 2-4 years. (1996 views) | |
| Tasted by AMM3RD on 3/1/2009 & rated 88 points: This is very enjoyable vino. Everything that is right about cru Beauj. Freshness, fruit, acidity, balance. Drink over the next year or two. Recommended for "Bistro Wine". I found on sale for $15...AMM (1874 views) | |
| Tasted by chbeaumont on 2/22/2009 & rated 89 points: Rubied; substantial nose, chunky fruit; dry, some soft tannins, has real presence, well textured & good depth of fruit, medium-full. Starting to soften & broaden but retains refreshing acidity. Rather demands food currently. (1989 views) | |
| Tasted by AMM3RD on 2/13/2009 & rated 90 points: This is great stuff, and I bought it right! $15 on sale. I wish I had a case. Super fruit, fresh acidity, wonderful balance. Dark fruit without being sweet. Earthly. My best guess is that this will not last very long, when the bottle was open for 1 hour+ the wine started to loose some fruit, but still delicious. I'm going to look for more. Recommended. I'm going to look for more...AMM (1970 views) | |
| Tasted by cisco on 1/21/2009 & rated 90 points: Very good bottle. Still a bit restrained with medium tannins and medium finish. Can use more time but was very drinkable last night. I'm glad I have a few more to see how this develops. (2050 views) | |
| Tasted by Anonymous on 1/20/2009 & rated 92 points: I was going to open something special for Inauguration Night, but comfort and respite from the cold seemed to be in order. And comforting this is - what a great house wine -- deep and dark in the glass, strong and earthy on the nose. Decanted for an hour. I'm getting more cherries this bottle around, and the blackberries and cocoa again, as well as the balance of acidity and tannins. It really worked like a pinot with our late dinner -- pan-fried slices of leftover baked Alabama ham, and a cauliflower and Yukon gold potato puree, which is to say the wine was great with the pork and not so great with the cauliflower but then if anyone has a wine that works great with cauliflower please tell me. I hear Obama is not too much of a wine drinker. Too bad. (2036 views) | |
| Tasted by drm on 1/18/2009 & rated 89 points: Decanted 1 hour and served at 16C. Dark purple. Pleasant bouquet of dark fruits, along with some faint spice, licorice, and wood notes. On the palate this has fine but not silky tannins which become more pronounced on the mid-palate and finish which is somewhat angular. The taste itself is a bit less than the promising nose but still a moderately complex mid-palate that features dark fruits, licorice and some vanilla undertones. This wine goes better with food than without and also works better somewhat cooler as when the wine warms the balance tends towards more astringent notes and angular tannins. Still, a fine QPR and an enjoyable wine. I agree with other comments here this tastes more like a Pinot than a Gamay. 50+5+12+15+7=89. (1979 views) | |
| Tasted by gschneider on 1/10/2009 & rated 87 points: REally nice, almost burgundy or rhone like. Great Gmay flavor, old vines. (2053 views) | |
| Tasted by ColinR on 12/28/2008 & rated 91 points: Deep ruby; vanilla, black cherries, earth; cherry liquor, earthy, silky, light-medium body, good balance, some structure, ripe tannins, nice finish. Elegant, complex yet easy-drinking Beaujolais, probably from old vines. This kept reminding me of a good pinot. Delicious with turkey. (2143 views) | |

About red wine Varietal character (Appellation America) Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia) Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north. Burgundy Report Grands Jours de Bourgogne 11. b?ezna 2008 - výborná reportáž Pavla Jelena.
