Beaujolais Villages Rosé Gamay 2018

Hard to keep my hands off these. So vibrant & fresh, but with plenty of high toned fruit. I need much more Gamay Rose in my life. — 4 years ago

Les Griottes de Brulhié Côte de Brouilly Gamay

Pure Beaujolais pleasure. Drinking very well now but I suspect it will be good for the next 8-10 years. — 5 years ago

Dolcetto d'Alba 2014

Very deep ruby color reminiscent of Chateau Thivin '15. Good grip with decent minerality. Young and very drinkable. — 7 years ago

Maryline et Christophe Billon

Les Corendies Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah 2014

Both fun and thoughtful. With a little air, nose shows very pure and fresh blackberry/cassis, just-cracked peppercorns, cracked stones, and pink grapefruit rind. Soft texture, loads of flavor in an uber-fresh package. So lively and fun. Syrah's answer to Chateau Thivin. — 7 years ago

Terrific value. I love this bottling. It's bonkers in 15.

Cuvée les Griottes Côte de Brouilly Gamay 2018

Stuffed full of herbs and ripe fruit, everything I want in a gorgeous Beaujolais. — 4 years ago

Domaine David-Beaupère

Juliénas Vayolette Gamay 2015

This is stunning. The color is highly saturated, almost like a Cali Petite Sirah, but totally luminous. Nose is redolent of ripe, zingy red berries and clean cracked stones. Ridiculously pure, intense fruit, with nice subtle stones underneath. But the acidity is totally unexpected for a '15, and really pulls this together. This is at the genius level of a Thivin cru. Wish I had more than one. Exceptional. And I had never even heard of this producer before!

UPDATE: I just noticed that the back label says 15%. Glad I didn't see that before I rated it as it probably would have negatively affected my rating. Never seen a 15% Bojo before. Thank you coal.

Domaine de la Voûte des Crozes Côte-de-Brouilly Gamay 2013

Off night wine. Not as interesting as Chateau Thivin. The wine kind of disappears and doesn't linger on your palette. — 7 years ago

Domaine De La Grand'Cour (Jean-Louis Dutraive)

Les Clos Cuvée Vielles Vignes Fleurie Gamay 2014

After the hype from Somm2 and good feedback from wine biz buds, my verdict is this is a very, very good Beaujolais Cru. I definitely recommend you try it if you are into Burgundy or esp Cru Bojo. My wife guessed Burgundy blind when I poured it for her. Like ripe red raspberry and bing Cherry, with a dash of roasted herbs smeared on a granite rock...yeah, literally that. The aroma is a perfume of red fruits caught in a tug of war with a granite rock-like minerality and roasted herbs and forest floor. The palate is dead sexy, juicy and sappy fruit and acidity, with a perfect balance and elegance that feels weightless. Thanks for the enlightenment @Jason Wise and @Brian McClintic! Now I can add #dutraive to my faves from #beaujolais like #lapierre #thivin #foillard #sunier #thevenet — 8 years ago

Cuvée 3.14 Morgon Gamay

This was good, but my mute palate has a hard time with nuance in these wines. Don’t get me wrong, great wine, but probably needed more decant or something. For the purported “value” of this, I would rather buy the single vintage Thivin wines all day long — 6 years ago

Light wake season cherry fruit. Great acidity. Licorice. Will age for a decade. But I'd rather drink single vineyard thivin. Bought from Fass selections. — 7 years ago
