  Magnificent showing. Silk fruit of the highest quality (mostly red currant and strawberries, but lovely undercurrents of cassis as well), rounded tannins and a bunch of dusty granite. The acidity, think zest from ripe oranges, just sucks you in. Do not make the mistake of thinking this is just easygoing, easily forgotten glouglou. The structure is light but seriously strong. Brilliant Beaujolais.

  (bojo à l'av.)
  Un beau nez de Gamay nature, ou presque: ça vit, c'est pas standard, mais pas pour autant barré, on sait ou on est, c'est le beaujolais, c'est la gamay de caractère. Des épices (poivre), une pointe animale un fruit noir, un rien ascatique au debut, et puis c'est parti!
  Certes un peu chaud (solaire? concentré?), avec du peps, de l'énergie, voilà un vin pas fatigant pour autant avec sa souplesse fraiche, sa finale saline.! et si ce n'est pas mon préféré chez Descombes, c'est quand même fort interessant.
  
  90/91

  Delicious. Gluggable fruit and a nice acidic core that’s not overpowering. In a great place and an enjoyable wine for sure. Drink!

  Richesse et finesse, profondeur, énergie, caractérisent ce gamay presque naturel, policé de texture, fruité, épicé, dont la robe plutôt foncée annonce une aromatique automnale (griotte, sous bois, poivre). Le grain est fin, comme souvent chez Descombbes (les Fleurie …), le vin en rondeur, mais frais, en tension. Pas aussi fruité que son Chiroubles cependant.

  Lovely, silky fruit. Drinking well at the moment. Will probably age well.
