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

The 2017 Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse is powerful and backward, with huge tannins wrapped around a core of black cherry, smoke, charcoal, licorice, blackberry jam and graphite. Exotic and rich in the glass, the 2017 needs time to soften, but it is immensely promising, not to mention utterly captivating. Tasted three times. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2020)

This is amazing. I love chartreuse and had no idea they made a bottle like this. — 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

Always delivers especially for the price. ‘23 feels a tad riper / sweeter fruit than years past. Smackin with deviled eggs. — 9 months ago
