I love this site. It’s so distinct and in the right hands makes 1er quality wine that’s like a mini Perrieres as it has the same super rocky poor soil. Meyer lemon, butter, grilled nuts, mineral, tree bark, so earthy and mineral. Palate is so elegant and just beautiful. Wow. Hauntingly elegant. So mineral with some buttery fruit but man this is wow. This has really caught me off guard. Fuck. What a beautiful wine. — 7 years ago

Verily I say, my head nearly exploded when I tasted this! Inky deep, meaty, peppery, stiff backbone like a Buckingham Palace guard, and big in all the ways that light up my palate like a First Encounter of the wine kind. Mondeuse is rarer in the US than a UFO ... and uncommon outside of the French region of Savoie. $42 at the winery. Gotta rig up a tractor beam and get me some! — 11 years ago

Deep purple colors in the glass. Heavy cab with blueberry, vanilla, and tasting notes of earth. Very yummy cab and went perfectly with pot roast. — 7 years ago
Wow. This was THE perfect bottle. Very complex in all phases. Fruits still lush. Tannins resolved. Hints of leathers, spices, dust. It felt so young and packed with flavor while remaining elegant and light on its feet. Actually left some for a second night and it was still beautiful and alive. And so fun to be caught off guard by allure and intrigue. — 7 years ago
A surprisingly great red - as others have said. A very drinkable wine, but of smokiness to it, bold and quite red fruity. — 9 years ago
This came as part of a mixed sale case of rosé and although I really didn't want to like it - cause the label is so damn cheesey- i have to admit it is actually very nice — 10 years ago
Wow! Wanted to get to know Beaujolais, so found this on menu at Rye in Louisville. Knew they were generally best young, so was on guard, but what a nice wine! Sweet flowers and very slight spiciness on the nose. Not "sweet" on the tongue, just nice juicy red berries/cherries come to mind. So easy to enjoy and paired well with the both the cheese board and beef. Tannins were subdued, finish was clean...should have got a bottle! Nice choice for the wine list, Rye! — 10 years ago

Caught me off guard !! Wow — 11 years ago
Intense scents of red cherries and earth. Caught off guard by the very solid level of acidity which gives a nice boost to the plums, berries, spice and mineral flavors. Tannins are restraining the wine from showing its best but I expect them to resolve in 3-5 years . First time with this producer and I would like to try their other wines. — 11 years ago
This wine caught me off guard; it's the best showing I've seen yet from Municipal. Cool climate pepper notes, and perfectly balanced. We started the bottle two nights ago, and just saw a glass remaining this evening. It held up beautifully, and opened to more earthy aromas. Very well done, Dave Potter. — 11 years ago
Showing some elegance with age. Twigs and rocks guard the red and dark red dried fruits. — 12 years ago
this is the shazam! ultra cool vintage lends well to a zippy nose of bright minerality and a palate that zings. love the Aussie new guard. — 13 years ago

A very reasonably priced bottle. Sadly half of it went to the dish I was cooking, but it was delicious with a slow-cooked pork in wine sauce. — 6 years ago
