November 23, 2023 - Great! A little closed at open. Opened up nicely. High toned. Easy drinking. Perf with turkey.

July 11, 2021 - Showing quite well in its fifth year. Crushed red fruits, velvety florals, and signature granite minerality. A bit of sediment, though not obtrusive. I can see this lasting some time longer, though I don't see it improving in that time. My advice is to drink up.

November 23, 2020 - Pours a medium, hazy ruby.
N - raspberry, rosehip, atomized granite, crushed strawberry, allspice, lardo, minced tarragon and basil, ripe citrus.
P - more red fruits, raspberry, choke cherry, underripe wild strawberry, some nice stem and seed bitterness, Irish breakfast tea, ruby red grapefruit, hot gravel (is that a flavor?), freshly ground cassia, ripe pomegranate, iron filings.
M+ acid, more grip than your average Beaujo. Pretty clean considering the category, probably a touch of VA that only contributes rather than detracts. Long, mouthwatering finish bolstered by subtle tannins that suggest a long life ahead of it. Would love to revisit in 3-5. Jean-Paul and Charly make some of my all time favorite Cru Beaujolais.1 person found this helpful Comment -

May 22, 2020 - Very fruity and juicy. Fresh, light, elegant, but with a backbone that keeps it serious. Drink now if you prefer the fruit juice, but will probably evolve into something a bit more complex in a few years.
