Inch perfect, and faithful to the appellation. Lots of that “blue” Brouilly thing. Fresh, lower alcohols and guzzleworthy. #brouilly #beaujolais #gamay — 6 years ago

Pass the Douby to the left! Tastes like a cedar cigar box was filled with plums. Great, light red wine that could stand up to elk, moose and other gamay meats. I feel like I just got Beaujolais'd! — 7 years ago

Wonderful fruit concentration, serious acidity and big league minerality. Aromas are somewhat reticent initially, but the palate is explosive, intense and persistent right from the get-go. Think raspberry, blood orange, Asian spice, old copper pennies. Already fairly well-aged, the tannin structure gives me confidence for excellent mid-term cellaring potential. Might be difficult to find in the US market, but consumers should buy with the utmost confidence- especially at this price point. Superb! — 6 years ago

Crunchy red fruits, carbonic, and the tannins have some grip too! This is the best Nouveau I’ve had. Definitely something to seek out if you’re curious. Would probably make a good Thanksgiving meal wine. — 5 years ago

This seductively perfumed Beaujolais perfectly captures the charm of the vintage: balance, tension and seamless texture, with noteworthy purity and energy, make the Grand Cras Irresistible now, although a little patience will bring greater depth and complexity.

More body than the other 2005. Plot lays on opposite ends of the road. A little more body. — 9 years ago
