Laboring with a headcold I am unable to report much in the way of my own impressions, but instead will vicariously report Jean's. She felt that this wine was lovely in a lightweight vein (which was what we were looking for tonight) with a distinct herbal note that she felt made for a better match with the bread stuffing than the roasted Rock Cornish game hens. Regardless, it was lovely and limpid and went down all too easily.

Just a delightful bottle of wine. This opens to joyous, grapey goodness, dark soil notes, and mouthwatering acidity. So versatile at the table, this is the perfect wine for a substantial meal, as the lightness of body and high acid of the wine are a great antidote to heavy cuisine. Yet there's a serious hint lurking under the surface; an inkling that this has the fortitude for medium-term aging. This is one of those wines that disappears so quickly that you don't get a chance to see what it does an hour, two hours, a day after it's been opened... it's just too easy to drink.

(Michel Tete Julienas) Some berry fruit and Indian spice with some nice floral aromas and inner mouth floral aromas. There is a little spritz due to it's youth. Seems a bit dilute with not much flavor. 2007's across Beaujolais, when I tasted them, did not impress me much. KInd of a burnt sensation on the finish.

An Exploration of Great Beaujolais Domains In Situ; 3/29/2011-4/1/2011 (Villie-Morgon, France and environs): Light, lively wine with fragrant red fruit. Elegant with lots of earth. Only demerit is some dryness on the finish, but I enjoyed this.

This time I was struck by carbonic maceration aromas as well as the previously noted cherry. Light with a bit of sap, excellent verve.
