  July 4, 2020 - Did a tasting of two 2011 Morgon. Daniel Bouland Corcelette and Jean-Paul Thévenet V.V. Similar. Tight. Dark berry. Heavier flavors, lacked the bright rich fruit of other recent bottles (e.g. the Foillard Côte du Py, which was terrific). Not crazy about either. The Thévenet had funkier nose. Smoky wooded notes then more barnyard.

  June 17, 2020 - Cherries, raspberries, cedar, and spices on the nose. Nice acidity with tart cherries, red berries, a and pomegranate on the palate. Nice finish.

  February 13, 2017 - Earthy funk and red fruit on the nose. Sour cherry on the mid-weight palate. Long finish. I dare say Burgundian. Drinking beautifully. Wish I bought more!!!

  September 30, 2016 - Pop and pour. Soft on the palate in terms of tannin but there is ample acidity to balance the juicy and slightly tart fruit. There was also a sappy quality to the fruit and some mineral notes to add depth. This is drinking really well right now.

  June 8, 2015 - Severe, concentrated, good bitters, firm body, elements you don't expect
  tasting a beaujolais. wait at least another three years and you will become rewarded (potential: 92/93 points). My friend Frans de Beer combined this beast with a perfectly prepared quail and it went very well.
