RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

...very well defined bouquet... The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, very fine acidity, harmonious from start to finish with a caressing dark cherry and mulberry finish that lingers in the mouth.

93Vinous / IWC

Vibrant red and dark berry and Asian spice aromas carry a hint of musky earth. Sweet and incisive, offering palate-staining blackberry and boysenberry flavors and a late touch of bitter chocolate. Supple tannins give shape to the mineral-driven, sharply focused finish, which hangs on with excellent tenacity and building sweetness.

92James Suckling

The freshness and balance to this are very impressive with floral and berry character. Medium-bodied, clean and crisp. Lovely center palate of lemons and strawberries. Balanced and very pretty.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Fragrant and starting to show complexity – not just red fruits but also a herbal and more savoury and rocky edge and a touch meaty...it has real depth and substance on the palate. Juicy, finely spiced and super-fine tannic texture. A really complete wine...

REGION

France, Beaujolais, Morgon, Cote du Py

Cote du Py is a famous vineyard on the slopes of Morgon’s central Mount du Py. The soil is a hard black schist, meaning coarse-grained metamorphic rock made of layers of different minerals. Of the 10 crus of Beaujolais, Moulin-a-Vent and Morgon are considered to have the finest terroirs.

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.
