RATINGS

93+ The Wine Advocate

...bouquet of dark cherries, red fruit compote, quince and rose petal...full-bodied, ample and lavish, with a deep, concentrated core and rich structuring tannins.

93Vinous / IWC

...ripe red/dark berries, cherry pit, licorice, violet and smoky minerals. Offers palate-saturating black raspberry, bitter cherry, floral pastille and musky herbs flavors...tannic finish, which leaves cherry pit, exotic spice and floral notes behind.

16Jancis Robinson

Classic red fruit with liquorice and fennel notes, leading to a bitter twang on the finish. Furry tannic texture.

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.
