95 Points

Saturday, May 8, 2021 - That score, 95, is an understatement, but one must be judicious when praising Beaujolais. After all, it's just Beaujolais, right? Not quite. This is easily the greatest Beaujolais I've ever tasted. Nothing has ever come close. Had my first bottle two or three years ago at the great New York restaurant Brooklyn Fare, and felt that way at the time. Just found a second bottle buried in my basement, forgotten. My apologies to Monsieur Foillard for the oversight. Possibly even better than the first bottle. Silkiness and delicacy reminiscent of a Denis Bachelet Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru. This is the gamay of the gods.
