  March 1, 2024 - Ethereal, nine months since my last bottle, this somehow keeps getting better. The smoke is becoming intertwined with the floral aspects, dropping some weight from both the nose and palate. Supermodel sexy.

  December 12, 2023 - FANTASTIC! Have been drinking this 4-5 bottles throughout the last two years and they just keep getting better. Can’t wait to enjoy it a few more years.

  May 3, 2023 - A year after my last bottle of this, it remains a favorite Gamay. Violet, blueberry, cured meat funk, and a mineral backbone. The darker and more brooding counterpart to Dubois’ ethereal Les Labourons, the pair reflect a duality similar to Foillard’s Côte Du Py / Corcelette combo. Effin outstanding.

  April 25, 2023 - It's delicious.
  
  Fragrant, lovely bright red fruit, crisp acidity - in perfect balance.
  A delight. And, even better than the last bottle, if that's possible.
  
  Rated +1, possibly +2 for the sheer enjoyment, on a scale of -1 to +2.

  November 22, 2022 - A gift from an enthusiastic friend. I think I understand his enthusiasm, even if I don't fully share it. This is a natural-yeast Beaujolais with some organic-wine funkiness, followed by some high-acid exuberance. If you can tolerate the funk, then it's a lot of fun to drink, and it may become even more fun if another couple of years in the cellar helps to mellow the acidity.
