Is this the best wine in Beaujolais? I think so. Super refined and complex nose of leather, dark cherries, earth and mineral. A lipstick like intensity. Saline and mineral. Just a stunning refined and complex nose that defies the appellation. Palate is round, elegant and concentrated, with such grace and nimbleness. Amazing elegant and delicate structure suggests this has a decade or more. Wonderful long finish. Grand Cru all the way. A stunning wine and I can’t wait to see how it opens. — 2 years ago

Yes, these guys do Beaujolais in a Bordeaux bottle.

Great nose features ripe cherry and berries, along with a rich, humus-like earthy note and scents of old barrels. Fruity but fairly structured in the mouth. Significant tannin frames the sultry, oozy fruit. Initially, it’s a little austere in the finish (a la the region whose bottle shape is used), but more fruit comes through as it gets air. Unique and very good. — 2 years ago

A hand crafted blend of 50% Pinot Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir, and 20% Chardonnay. Golden straw with stone fruit aromas and yeasty notes. On the palate pear and apple flavors with a nutty toasty character. Well balanced on a long finish ending with chalky mineral tones. — 5 years ago

Here comes the ❄️…. Maybe.
Meanwhile we bring our own wine. It’s chilled a bit more than we’d like….. but after a bit it’s very palatable. — 2 years ago

Lemon, flowers, seashells on the nose. Beautiful palate of lemons, lime, a touch of oak/bread, honey, salinity, lingers for many minutes. Drinking very well with an hour or so of air. — 6 years ago

An ample Champagne of breadth and richness - yeasty, briochey patisserie shop and cinnamon baked apples. Sumptuous and expansive on the palate, it's difficult to spit this one out. — 6 years ago

Tart apple, white flower. Clean, crisp limestone like finish.

Interesting wine. Definitely not Meursault-like, blind I would have went chassagne. I might be a bit low on the rating, often I need a couple of tries on wines like this that taste different than expectation of location. At Hestia — 2 years ago

Monopole! That one wasn’t in my list. Chalk up another delicious Monopole tasted. The list is long and distinguished, and fun to chase down. The resolution continues almost 10 years later. 100 Wines Kermit tasting. — 5 years ago

Inte lik nån annan Albarino jag druckit. Krämig textur och ek som hade lett mig helt fel i en blindprovning. Stort vin med fantastisk karaktär från jästen och mogna gula stenfrukter. — 6 years ago
