Very nice Beaujolais. Was quite curious how this would present given the wide variety of opinions on this wine. Aromatically quite beautiful - delicate flowers, lighter red fruit. Palate follows through nicely. Restrained at this point, and the 14% doesn’t present in any negative way. Long finish with great earthy tannins and good acid. Perfect cold night pairing with a rotisserie chicken. — 4 months ago

Crisp, very peachy, a little floral . Maybe white peach or mimosa? Nice acid but balanced. — 2 months ago

This is the 2017 from Xavier Gerard. Black pepper lavender and mint. Still very young — 8 months ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. Black plastic cork; the standard for Dard et Ribo. The 2015 “Les Rouges des Baties” pours a deep, dull ruby/purple with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of wild black brambles, oil cured olive, roasted meat, purple flowers, black pepper, a mix of organic and inorganic earth and dried herbs. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. An utterly beautiful expression of Crozes-Hermitage and this worked really well with goose from South Dakota. I’m smitten. Drink now through 2035. — 3 months ago

Pale lemon color with aromas of citrus, stone fruits and floral notes. On the palate flavors of fresh apple, apricot and lemon citrus with notes of white flowers and spice. Medium+ finish, lively acidity ending with citrus fruit and chalky mineral character. — 21 hours ago
