Popped and poured. Pretty expressive and exciting on the nose: plenty of ripe, dark-toned fruits, bright and lively throughout. Just a very, very slight note of VA that really adds to the whole. A strong feel of soil without any dominant note of that ilk, mostly just stony and minerally nuances. On the palate it is just wonderful. Not large scaled but has terrific concentration and nice chewiness to it. Lots of lively dark fruit with excellent structure and a really firm mouthfeel. Savory and refreshing, markedly alive and vibrant. I would call it muscular but without any negative connotation whatsoever. By all means it has downright perfect proportions and just an impeccable balance. It is still on its way up but an absolute delight right now.

I've liked my other bottles of this wine without being too impressed. This one is the best so far, taken at near-refrigerator temperature with an open-faced, pulled chicken sandwich. From memory, so few details, but nice flavors, balance, acid cut, but a slightly stern, very dry aspect that gave it a bit of extra class. Very good indeed.
I think, drink these now.

Well-made cru Beaujolais with attractive balance comprising charming cherry-strawberry fruit flavor together with a crisp acid spine and just enough tannic pucker to make for a satisfying red tipple. Good for a mid-week glass to accompany the evening meal. Brun's cru wines - to my taste - are distinguished by their purity and good balance, but not by depth or complexity, even in the context of Beaujolais wines.
I'd expect to cellar a cru Desvignes or Coudert longer, waiting for additional development, but this wine strikes me one with virtues best enjoyed now or within a year or two.

A point. It’s fully resolved and elegant Bojo. A low key Moulin. Just a touch of pleasing funk on finish. Drink nowish

High acid, lacking fruit and charm, indeed a bit onedimensional.
