RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

Sexy, highly perfumed scents of red fruit liqueur, candied flowers and five-spice powder, along with a smoky mineral topnote. Sappy, deeply concentrated raspberry and rose pastille flavors show impressive energy and are complicated by a suggestion of Asian spices...finishing very long, with impressive focus and silky, harmonious tannins.

92John Gilman

...bouquet is deep and serious, delivering a constellation of cassis, black cherries, chocolate, a nice touch of balsamic overtones, a good base of soil and violets in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full and sappy at the core, with good, ripe tannins, fine focus and grip and a long, balanced and fairly powerful finish.

91James Suckling

...plenty of dried berry and citrus character. Medium body, attractive and satisfying with chalk and light cherry flavors. Medium finish.

TYPE

Red Wine, Gamay, Cru Beaujolais

The Gamay grape produces a light, versatile and food-friendly wine. It is best known for making Beaujolais Nouveau, but it is also grown in Loire and Tours. Thankfully the 14th C. Duke of Burgundy’s degree to ban the grape did not spread through all of France.
