December 8, 2018 - Beaujolais Cru Magnum Party (Riga, Latvia): 🏅Rating 89+/100 (3,95⭐)
Flowers, not fruits. Lilac, elderflower, rhubarb. Palate is also rich and concentrated bouquet of flowers.
Very Floral Fleurie as it should be with silky density. Very good example of this appellation. -

October 20, 2018 - Sappy red berries and that wispy herbal, floral quality that is a like a buzzing springtime garden. Really great shape to this wine and it was especially excellent with the barbecue. In a nice window but may continue to improve.

September 17, 2017 - Wouahouh! Sublime gamay que voilà, tout en dentelle et en profondeur, dans un registre bio de grande classe: quand on plonge le nez dans le verre, c'est un festival très pur de fruits rouges frais, entre fraise mara et cerise, framboise, violette, rose. Le tactile est aussi au diapason, avec une rondeur douce et fraîche, des tanins très policés: le top du beaujolais! Un must have...

October 7, 2016 - Beaujolais Cru Night: Dark crimson red. In the nose, this is very fragrant with smashed raspberries, black cherry, floral notes, this is super pure and clear and already quite complex. In the mouth, it's juicy, mouth filling, dense, but ultimately light, silky despite a certain tannic backbone. Violet and licorice notes in the very long finish that also shows some agreeable bitter notes. An excellent Fleurie which combines substance and lightness.
