  Brouilly is one of my favorite Beaujolais appellations and this one is exceptionally good.

  I don't have a lot of experience with the gamay. Compared to the J. Chamonard Morgon I recently had (gave that one an 89), this was a small disappointment. Not as light and fresh as I expected. And the strawberry nose I like was hard to pick up. Is it because it was a year older ('11 vs. the Chamonard's '12)?

  Very true expression of Gamay, quite fresh with a red fruit profile and plenty of acidity. A bit of back end bitterness necessitated its service with food, but tant pis, non?

  Through the Heart of France; 11/17/2013-11/25/2013 (Centre, Aubrac, Languedoc and Paris): Light red. Tart cherry. Light, carefree fruit, a twist of cranberry, very saline finish. Very Gamay. It only emphasizes how much deeper and complex the Morgon Vieilles Vignes is after having that the other day.

  Délicieux Beaujolais tout en fruits rouges. Tanins assez fermes qui laissent supposer une garde moyenne à longue, mais très bon présentement.
