March 21, 2021 - nice balanced wine, very bright on the nose but just a touch sweet on the finish. I think there is better value elsewhere.

March 11, 2021 - Medium ruby, slightly cloudy. Nose of red fruit, sour cherry. Flavours of more red fruit, cherry, tart berry, cherry. Medium+ acidity, medium- body, medium- alcohol. Good balance.

February 7, 2021 - La robe assez claire montre des signes d'évolution, le nez (après une bonne aération) est sur la cerise, une pointe d'anis, et des notes de sous-bois qui témoignent des années de bouteille. Pas exubérant, mais plutôt fin et distingué, presque pinotant. En bouche, l'élevage est révélé par un toucher assez classieux, c'est facile (12°5) et bon, longueur honorable, et une trame acide qui fait merveille à table. Je suis assez bluffé par le résultat, les propriétaires de Volnay ont clairement élevé ce gamay "à la bourguignonne" pour un résultat très convaincant. Je pense qu'à l'aveugle je serais parti sur un pinot. Dommage que çà en atteigne désormais le prix, c'est vraiment très sympa et l'un des meilleurs bojo bus ces derniers temps, loin du glouglou en macération carbonique. 90+

November 28, 2019 - Enjoyed this with old school roast chicken and for relaxation
Very nice easy going single vineyard Beaujolais Cru Fleurie from excellent vintage 2014.
For me this oozed of primary aromas such as rasberry, cherry and strawberry wrapped up in a balsamic package
The wine itself is light bodied with a nice acidity balancing out the fruit sweetness. Alcohol and astringency is not dominating.
Short relative simple pleasant finish. Will buy again.
