So much for the myth that Beaujolais doesn't hold up over time. This 2009 is vibrant with deep red fruit, soft tannins and we'l-balanced acidity. Forest floor and wild raspberry are in the mix. Long on the palate, a beautiful wine with another few years ahead though irresistible now — 7 years ago

About Beaujolais and Burgundy, The Wine Bible says “Even the spirit of each place is Singular. Beaujolais is fruit and joy; Burgundy is earth and solemnity.” #FunReadingTheWineBible. Floral, fruit and hints of spice on the nose. Fresh fruit taste; acidity a bit overpowering, but balances out with soft read fruits (strawberry?) — 6 years ago

2009, Julie Balagny, En Remont, Jean Barrat, Fleury, Gamay. No notes, but an excellent Cru Beaujolais. Red fruit, a little spice and a little earthy. Great story about Julie Balagny. Took her dog, got a vineyard, works it all by herself and makes great Cru Beaujolais. — 8 years ago
Lovely, light, red fruit, pleasant and makes me want to drink more with every sip. Makes me happy. — 8 years ago

Strawberry and reminds you how close Beaujolais is to the Rhône and yes his 14s and 16s are better (by far) but this warmed me up — 6 years ago
