Managed by Jean Eugène Borie SA, & her daughter Sabine Coiffe & her son Bruno-Eugène, the 3rd generation of the Borie family to head estate, with close links among the 5 families of successive owners. A blend of 95% Cab Sauv & 5% Merlot, in 100% new French oak, aromas of ripe black fruits with espresso & smoky herb notes. On the palate currants & blackberry with pepper, cigar and oak. Fine soft tannins, perfect acidity balance, lingering ending with an earthy mineral character. Wow! This needs a few years. Tasting Sample. — 7 years ago
100% Gamay.
Iron-tinted garnet. Clear and transparent.
The nose is royal. Complex commingling of floral note, red fruit, and minerality. Violet, rose petal, red cherry, wild strawberry, cranberry, tar, and iron. On the bouquet alone, this could very well be misunderstood for a Nebbiolo-based wine.
Structurally, the wine is built for long haul IMO. Grippy tannin, med plus acid, med low body (12.5 abv). 4 years old but this Beaujo tasted so young (who said it cannot age!). Still a lot of red fruit characters backed by mineral/stony frame. The same profile follows through from the aromas to the palate.
Pulled the plug on this bottle on a whim. No regret. Now I know I have to keep my hands off the rest of my bottles for another decade. Lovely juice! 91+ — 8 years ago
Fresh, floral, mineral-tinged raspberry and lingonberry. This is just fun and who really cares about anything else? — 9 years ago
American geography ignoramus that I am, little did I know that the Northernmost tip of the Rhone- Cote Rotie- is the kissing cousin of Beaujolais. St. Amour is more midpoint, but has that great granite terroir which makes this long standing Cru Bojo (& under 20$) a perennial fave. It’s that mineral tautness I love. — 4 years ago

20% Pinot Noir, 20% Chard, 60% Jacquère ( I think), Methode Traditionelle. Crisp clean mountain bubbles. Great bubbles for the buck, as cremants usually are. Savoie even more so. — 8 years ago
