  September 11, 2019 - I must have paid a lot less than SvenD and Grapenomad for this and really disagree with the 76 rating. Their main points are fair, perhaps not so distinctive of place, but it's still an enjoyable wine and I look forward to my remaining bottles. You may be surprised that it actually tastes like a Beaujolais. These should last for a while..

  January 7, 2019 - I agree for 100% with Grapenomads tasting note.
  NoJulienas character in this industrial mass produced Beaujolais. Bad value for this région.

  December 29, 2018 - Going on to neighboring Julienas and to more rustic, spiced wines. The soils here are the most versatile in Beaujolais, ranging from granite in the west to sedimentary and alluvial in the east. Château Des Capitans stands out for its high-quality fruit grown on single-vineyard old vines. The area is pretty much exposed to sun all the time with just a glimpse of southern Mediterranean winds cooling it off at night.
  
  Hmmm…freakin’ 92 points from Suckling?! As many commented, this was neutral territory. Powerful notes of sweet cherry, blackcurrant, plum and baking spices. Medium-bodied, highly extracted, low tannins. A lot more restrained than the previous four wines. Besides all the stuff that you read on the official website (best this, best that, yada yada yada), if you’re a barely trained taster, you can really see that this is mass production 101. No real character, nor grace. Just a safe weekday choice that comes with a hefty price tag.

  November 4, 2018 - Easy quaffable Beaujolais with a nose of strawberry jam , Maraschino, candied rose petals,and mushrooms. Slightly jammy mouthfeel balanced by medium plus acidity. Flavours of under ripe cherries. No hurry to drink up.
