January 24, 2022 - This wine is in a great place right now, with a little exposure to air - say, 20 minutes in the glass or 30 in a decanter. The preliminary curtain of sandy tannins parts, granting ingress to succulent, juicy fruit flavors which lean cherry, and engaging attention by the contrast in textures. Fine acidity and good balance, everything very nicely proportioned, no flab. Only seven months since my last bottle, but this one is much better than I recall from that sample; sipping after the wine had been in the glass for a bit, I really had to do a double take, so surprised was I by the quality and impact of the inner fruit. My favorite Beaujolais, I'd say, or maybe tied with Foillard Morgon du Py, which offers great flavors and textures in a distinctly different presentation of Gamay.

If one could take only one producer's Cru Bojo on the "Arc" that had to sell for well under $30, this would be my pick. A good pour while it's raining, it would still drink well after the waters were finally gone.
