This vertical confirmed my bias that Beaujolais loses energy with age. I’ve done this a few tines and the younger gamays shine with superior crunch, spice and energy. — 10 days ago

@romo I’ve had luck aging Bouland Morgons (for 8-10 years.) I’m pretty sure I have a bunch of 2010-12 Folliard to open at some point, Morgon and Fluerie. If interested, send me a note at macleancd@gmail.com. I might be back in LA in the fall.

That’s a good question @Romain Fitoussi . I’d like to believe those evolutionary notes happen, but that has not been my experience with gamay verticals. The research continues.

@romo Imho only Gamay that is aged in a traditional Burgundian elevage ages really well and develops secondary and tertiary notes. Only exception I have found is the single vineyards from Thivin. Carbonic for Gamay seems to discourage secondary and tertiary notes.

Great insight @Lyle Fass
