"Les Moriers" Fleurie Gamay 2021

Murky purple glow like ube pudding, smells like soft furry raspberries, pencil sharpener overflowing with shavings and broken graphite. Tastes like something bottled yesterday, very fresh, very direct, but really tasty. — 5 months ago

"La Cueille" Bugey-Cerdon Sparkling Gamay Poulsard

One of the darkest/deepest sparkling roses I've had. Nice fruit notes, good balance of different red & dark fruit and acidity. — a year ago

Clos De La Roilette

Clos de la Roilette Fleurie Gamay

I was a little concerned I let it go too far in bottle on its own, but with pepperoni pizza and rigatoni bolognase and a little time to air out, it was very nice. I think one of the few Beaujolais wines that can spend more time in bottle reliably. — 3 months ago

Brouilly Gamay 2014

It’s difficult to believe this is almost ten years old, as it has yet to take on any tertiary aromas. I must fight to take my hands of the couple of other bottles I have from 2014, as I am eager to see how they are when they start maturing. — 4 months ago

Cuvée Marcel Lapierre Morgon Gamay 2015

Popped and poured from a 1.5L; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. This was singing from the first glass to the last. The 2015 “Cuvée Marcel Lapierre” pours a deep, hazy ruby/purple with a near opaque core. Medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the aromatics are off the hook. Still developing with beautiful red and dark fruits: pomegranate, cherry, strawberry, blackberries, herbs, mixed flowers and just a whiff of pastureland. Just lovely stuff. I could just smell my glass all evening and it might just be enough. Alas, I did drink. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium(+?) tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish was long and satisfying. Mathieu and Camille did an excellent job managing the solar nature of the vintage with this bottle. The vineyard source probably didn’t hurt: Cuvée Marcel Lapierre is a blend of fruit from ancient vines in Côte du Py and “Le Douby”. This paired really well with traditional holiday ham balls. Already drinking well now but sure to age effortlessly over the next 10-15 years. — 4 months ago

First thought it had rolled down that hill but after 15 min it opened up and bloomed. With that surprising profile of autumnal forest with just a hint of long ripened fruits expected of Beaujolais, almost like a prune. Then realized I’d had this twice already over three years ago! Distinctive wine from the region, who said it’d be good for 6-8 years!? — 7 months ago
