From magnum. Good showing. Great detail and texture for a Beaujolais. Tough vintage but the old vines come through. Mineral notes with berry fruit. Reminds me more of Beaune Burg and a Bojo. None of that juicy bubble gum here. Fine now and might improve slightly.

The top gamay cuvee from this estate, still a Beaujolais but an outstanding cru one, from MG: still adstringend, needs some decent aeration, very good tannin structure, very good grip, full of energy, a basket full of black fruit, mouthfilling mineralic, both savoury and sumptuous, great purity, a stunning Gamay! With an decent decant can be enjoyed from now on, but will improve the next 5+ years easily, **(*-****), 91+ potential

Quick double decant. Was tight at first, then slowly got better over dinner. Needs more cellar time.
