This is awesome. Incredibly vivid and well defined nose. So deep, layered and refined. Deep cherry fruit, pink peppercorn, granite and so so round and refined. Pure. Beautiful with incredible focus. Black cherry hangs at the end as well. Smells like classed growth Bordeaux or 1er Cru burg. Truly classy. The palate is complex and elegant with the structure and refinement of classed growth Bordeaux and texture of seductive Volnay or Gevrey 1er Cru. There is no carbonic here thus the more classic descriptors and burg-Bordeaux metaphors. While young this is as impressive a young MAV as I’ve ever had . A 20+ year wine. Stunning. Amazingly complex, nuanced and refined. — 7 years ago

Violets, red fruit, and jerky dominate the nose on this lovely Gamay from the Cru Beajolais village of Moulin-A-Vent. This wine has a real silky mouthfeel and some serious grip and acidity. #delicious — 12 years ago

Haven’t had a Rottier wine in a minute. Dusty nose. Some cherry. Cassis. A nice richness. Really mineral. Seems closed but will open type of nose. Palate is lively and pure with a classic expression of 14 with crackling juicy dark fruit but slathered with minerality and so so refined. Showing so well. Structure to burn but really a great MAV. — 7 years ago

Classic, Burgundian execution. Pleasurable with venison burger night. Never thought I would see the day a Moulin-A-Vent bottle would say: "Mis En Bouteille Par Louis Boillot A Chambolle-Musigny". When bored of Bons Baton Moulin A Vent works. — 9 years ago

Quite good, but you feel the strength from 2015. May be better after it sits a while. Certainly charming but a bit out of balance — 10 years ago

Nose is like blackberry crumble or mixed berry cobbler. Beautiful acidity - tickles the back of my nose. Mouthfeel is soft but not at all flabby. Lingers with a black-red fruit character and a tobacco-coffee finish. — 12 years ago

love Metras, but this is the second 12 I've tried that's been a bit odd and oddly lightweight, and in general feels like the parts haven't or can't come together. — 12 years ago

A blend from several sites, this full robust Beaujolais, deep in color, shows aromas of ripe red fruits and spices. On the palate fresh cherry and strawberry with pepper spice and hints of floral. Rich fine tannins with lively acidity will enable this wine to gain benefit with some cellaring. Tasting Sample. — 10 years ago

This right here is some bomb Gamay. Funky nose with some restrained fruit and earthy undertones. A velvety palate with nice complexity. Plums, cherries, and white chocolate. There's dirty forest, licorice, and silky tannins. Gorgeous Old World minerality and a long, fruity finish. This might just inspire me to jump back into the other side of Burgundy. — 10 years ago
