Very 'Gamay done right' nose, that is for sure. You get lots of light fruit, but also lots of earthy/salty/mineral smells. Nice violet/red color. Tasty on the palate. Maybe just a bit to light, but it married well with many Thanksgiving foods.

Beaujolais' Hidden Depths, presented by Tim Atkin MW (London): A 9 hectare domain, owned by Pierre-Marie Chermette since 1992. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and cement tanks. It then spends six months in one-third new oak, two-thirds used (between 1 and seven years old). There's strawberry and raspberry fruit on the nose. Very nice palate with the oak only really evident onthe finish.

A bit lean, but very interesting. The vegetal aspect was complemented by bright red fruits. Good length and delicious.
