Exactly what I would expect from a Beaujolais. Medium bodied with light fruit, bigger terroir and a very clean finish. Great with grilled lamb — 7 years ago

Dry and not fruity with not juice notes. Char/smoked aroma. Oak tannins + terroir come forward. Finished with notes of black licorice. — 7 years ago

Decomposed berry blend wafts though the nose - classic barnyard sniffs, old things.
a goo balance of the oak and the dank fruit. Pom, plum, Beet jam in earthenware.
Delightful. Another CDRV that shows its terroir, through its tipples.
Yum.

The 2015 is proving to be an amazing vintage for Beaujolais at every level. This $14.99 Village is beyond belief good. Mineral, black stones, charred earth aromas with tannic red and black fruits, hints of fig in background, why spend a dollar on wine from anywhere else when you can drink something of this quality with this tradition. Beaujolais is where to look for understanding terroir. — 7 years ago

Peach and apricot on the nose, ripe flavors of peach throughout. Mild acidity, smells of hay in the finish... Kermit Lynch website: Here in the southernmost part of Burgundy, the soils of clay and limestone favor crisp, mineral–driven Chardonnays layered with ripe fruit, perfect for an apéritif and versatile at table with all sorts of appetizers. — 8 years ago

I bought my first vintage from this producer & terroir beginning with the 2010 vintage and what a vintage to start. I bought four bottles for right around $50 or a little less. They were so amazing, I drank through them in no time at all. For those of you that read my posts, that’s not normally what I do. I like to drink one & age the rest. Since then, I have looked & looked for more. I’d finally given up hopes of finding more until recently I struck gold. I should have bought all nine bottles but a calmer head prevailed. It’s definitely changed since having it fresh. On the nose, the fruits are slightly macerated. Heather honey, beeswax, golden & green apple, pineapple upside down cake, slight orange citrus blend, mango, glazed nuts, soft, delicate, chalky minerals, a touch of jasmine & yellow lilies. The body is much rounder & thicker than when it was young. Waxy. So, beautifully layered across the palate. Much of the palate matches the nose. Heather honey, beeswax, golden & green apple, apricots, peach, pineapple upside down cake, slight orange citrus blend, mango, slight molasses character & glazed nuts with citrus blossoms, yellow lilies & jasmine. The minerals are much more grippy & bold as they cut across and set on the palate. The acidity round & phat. The texture is amazing as is the length, balance & beautiful, rich, long finish that lasts two-minutes plus. So glad I found more of this wine! Hubert Lamy seriously over deliver the terroir & the price point by a country mile. If you are not buying this wine on pre-arrival, you are missing great wine and excellent value. Can’t say enough good things about it. Especially, the 2010. I expect the 15 to hold similar quality. Photos of; Olivier Lamy, Olivier working in this vineyard, barrel room and their Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Vineyard. Producer notes and history...There have been Lamy’ s growing vines in St-Aubin since 1640, today it is run by Olivier Lamy. Olivier is a new breed of Burgundian grower keen to progress. He trained Méo-Camuzet & made a number of vintages before taking over in 1996 from his father Hubert. Hubert Lamy used to sell fruit to négociants, but that stopped in 1997. He grubbed up and sold off peripheral vines, keeping only the best and oldest sites. Currently he is experimenting with different planting densities in a quest to capture even greater expression of terroir. The Domaine produces both reds and whites and now has 16.5 hectares of vineyards, mostly in St-Aubin but also own a few parcels in Chassagne-Montrachet and a tiny plot in the Grand Cru Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet. Yields are kept low and recent innovations have been introduced with selection tables in the cuverie to ensure that only the healthiest and ripest grapes are used. His more recent move to reduce the amount of new oak with the introduction of demi-muids 300-600 liter barrels have also helped to improve the wines. Vinification is traditional and the wines are matured with only 20-30% new oak for 12 months before minimal filtration and then bottling. The quality is very high and is often superior to many wines from much more prominent villages that sell at twice the price or more. — 7 years ago

This burg is good by, fair bit of wood on nose but very well integrated on palate, plenty of terroir too... Smoke, cinnamon dried meat, old tree stump, and big dark blackberries and minerals, very nuit-st-georges in style. Palate is suave and fresh but real ripe as well, spicy blackberries and roots abound, some wood on finish but plenty of fruits as well, a warm earthiness and plenty of concentration for $50 in burgundy. Well made and priced black wine of burgundy, delicious. Reg $36 on sale for 27$, not a lot of acid but enough in a ready to drink style. 2011 vintage. — 10 years ago
