  Red fruit (strawberry, raspberry), nice floral, slight spice, good acidity. Bright. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.

  A red fruit, esp cherry favour, slightly bubbles gum and nicely integrated.
  Light and acidic, red cherry, a bit herbal, but no serious, complex structure on palate. A relatively simple gamay. First time for me to taste Chenas.

  Somewhere between Burgundy and northern Rhône. Black pepper, strawberry, yeasty notes, blackberry, fresh acidity. Medium-plus body and salty finish. Banana notes, probably from intracellular fermentation, and baking spices.

  Decanted 1 hour in advance. Nose of bright red fruits with an intriguing vegetal edge. Complex cascade of flavors on palate balanced by appropriate acidity. Nothing heavy or ponderous - no notes of overripeness. Finish echoes red fruits, vegetal edge and lively acidity. Glad to have enjoyed this now - will give remaining bottles 2-3 years just to see what happens.

  Nose a bit too much on the funky natural side, even with a lot of slow-ox it still stays there, bit of a shame as the palate is quite beautiful. Super well balanced, red fruit dominating, clean and sharp acidity, long and enjoyable finish.
