2010. Starting to drink well now. A fine example of Lirac; cherry, dark fruits plus hints of garrigue & tobacco. — 11 years ago
Long story, but in brief, tasted blind to fool Jancis (an off-dry wine from Burgundy - why yes!), but she nailed it on her second guess. And then proceeded to describe the owner and the vineyards. Surely there is a God, and her name begins with a "J"! 2000 vintage. — 12 years ago

After the hype from Somm2 and good feedback from wine biz buds, my verdict is this is a very, very good Beaujolais Cru. I definitely recommend you try it if you are into Burgundy or esp Cru Bojo. My wife guessed Burgundy blind when I poured it for her. Like ripe red raspberry and bing Cherry, with a dash of roasted herbs smeared on a granite rock...yeah, literally that. The aroma is a perfume of red fruits caught in a tug of war with a granite rock-like minerality and roasted herbs and forest floor. The palate is dead sexy, juicy and sappy fruit and acidity, with a perfect balance and elegance that feels weightless. Thanks for the enlightenment @Jason Wise and @Brian McClintic! Now I can add #dutraive to my faves from #beaujolais like #lapierre #thivin #foillard #sunier #thevenet — 10 years ago
Hint of sweetness not your typical macon but typical of Thevenet macon — 11 years ago
Love this one. 2008 amazing — 12 years ago
From last week's tasting led by Martine Saunier, this Basque Cabernet Franc has much to offer. I love Cab Franc, personally, with all of its aromatic funkiness and rustic charm. Herri Mina Irouleguy does this, along with notes of forest floor, wintergreen and pie cherries. Silky on entry, the tannins hit the sides of the mouth. Finishes with pink peppercorn and Herbs de Garrique. Retails for around $33.00. — 12 years ago

Very bright and fruity. Well-balanced — 10 years ago
Heavier than a full Pinot but not by much. Light grape of the front and a little pepper on the back. Quite nice with a light meat or cheese. — 11 years ago
Unbelievable for 4.75 Euro. Perfect for hot nights pre dinner — 11 years ago
