April 7, 2022 - Still drinking well.
April 26, 2020 - Ate this with baked chaumes. Definitely enjoyed this wine.
March 8, 2020 - Similar to the previous note. Initially also hints of liquorice that dissipated with airing.
February 17, 2020 - Excellent sour red fruit (strawberries, pomegranate, raspberries... not sweet and juicy but the tart side).
Great backbone of minerality. Taut and non-fatiguing of the palate.
As it opens, the dark and more luscious side teases out (still within reason).
January 12, 2020 - The Gamay is showing itself from the less tangy side with a mellow touch. More Burgundy like with nice fruit and a hint of tertiary aromas.
January 5, 2020 - Excellent, similar comments to previously -classic St Amour but quite atypically substantial. Gorgeous wine.
Colour: bright red berries
Bouquet: warm florall/aromatic notes, spiced, smokey ripe red berries -cherries, raspberries and strawberries, plus blueberries
Palate: gorgeous full bodied voluptuous, chalky and chewy, very spicey red berries, black pepper, soft fine grained tannins but filling out a reasonably substantial body, long dry clean finish. Juicy and fresh.

August 20, 2019 - What it lacks in classical Gamay aromatics it makes up in sappy, deep kijafa cherry and blue fruit flavor backed by tannic structure and just enough acidity to water the mouth. And a hint of granite minerality to boot. A beauty.
August 4, 2019 - Nice, easy drinking. Not your typical basic Beaujolais. More complexity, darker in fruit. More towards a simple burgundy.
May 8, 2019 - Fresh cracked black pepper. Luscious red fruit. Good acidic lift. Sweet tannins. Hint of iodine
January 13, 2019 - Excellent, a classic Beaujolais cru but quite substantial.
Colour: deep red berries
Bouquet: rich spicey red berries, raspberries and cherries
Palate: gorgeous full bodied spicey red berries, soft tannins but filling out a reasonably substantial body, long dry clean finish.
