Now this is interesting- a Beaujo doppelgänger from Spain. But has some depth & soul- veering towards a meaty Chenas or Cru- like facsimile. And the price is right: under 17/16$ — 3 years ago

Some underbrush and cherry on the nose. As it evolves more orange citrus notes come out. All follows through on the palate with nice fresh acidity and soft tannins. — 5 years ago

Rising star in Chenas! First vintage 🤣

But seriously, a nice rare bird found in Japan. Full of energy and crunch. Red, floral, mineral... Leroy's magic touch... The more rustic side of her touch... If you get what I mean. I really enjoyed the wine. Good to note that KP still thinks the 16' Metras he had a week before was better... Pure energy. While I can't comment more on this, I believe this is definitely the case... Come on, it's Metras we're talking about. — 6 years ago

Given about 30 minutes of air. You could almost swear there was some Schist here. Reminds me of certain wines coming of the Cote de Brouilly, with a certain Chenas like influence too. Two bottles to go. — 6 years ago

What a pair of beauties here; the Moulin all pretty, pure and loaded with flowers and the Chenas, ferrous, blue fruited, mineral laced and Cornas-esq. Fantastic wines - 2015 — 7 years ago

Amazing how much there is left to discover. Chenas, so under the radar, is on par with the best of Beaujolais.

This is exceedingly well balanced, complexed - full bodied but feminine. Aromas exude youth - fresh berries and perfumed flowers. Little bit of orange and raspberry - good chew and acid with velvety plush. Zero tannin nod to Guy Breton - every bit as good. — 5 years ago

It was 100% gamay. Beautiful expression of gamay. Fruit forward, light, good acid. Nice summer drinking — 6 years ago

Little lighter body than I expected from a Chenas, but good acid and wonderful over all. Green strawberries, plum, cranberry. Nice spice. Wish I had a few more bottles! — 6 years ago

Doesn't have the clarity or lithe quality of a good Brouilly or Chenas, but more of the richer yet balanced style of a Morgon or Moulin-a-Vent. Really liked it a lot. Had wanted to try this wine for some time and was only slightly underwhelmed. — 8 years ago

The 2013 vintage of old vines (planted 1939) Chenas by Pascal Aufranc offers a well balanced Beaujolais differentiated by its new barrel oak presence which complements its appetizing acidity and juicy red fruit essence. This wine is deep ruby red and medium astringency with prominent notes of cigar box cedar on the palate and the nose with an acidic and tart mouthfeel. Enjoy this wine with chicken pad Thai, cedar plank salmon, or chicken cordon bleu. Domaine Pascal Aufranc has turned the berries from these 74 year old vines into an enjoyable aromatic experience and culinary companion. Highly recommend enjoying a few bottles of you can find it. — 9 years ago

To be honest, I actually prefer the Chenas I had earlier this year in Japan... But in the same spirit, this was super glou-glou. Bright, fresh, juicy, light, and super expressive. Only issue I have is the perception of RS. Could be the super sweet fruit though... — 5 years ago
