Fresh strawberries and cranberries on first nose, mineral component coming through after a swirl, generous fruit in mouth supported by acidic tension. Already in balance + it surely has more stories to tell in the next 2-4 years. Impeccable. — 8 years ago
Yum! I love the rose season. This is a clean, crisp rose... I would drink it anytime from April thru September. It reminds us of our trip thru the Loire Valley. — 9 years ago
Herbal and savory with a touch of black licorice on the finish — 10 years ago
Burnt toast and pea soup on the nose herald a honeyed peach and sweet citrus flavor profile, with a bit of yeasty multivitamin flavor lurking to give complexity and character. Nice. — 10 years ago

So, how are the big '09s Beaujolais five years in? If this is any indication, totally fine, if not graceful and pretty. Pure fruit core with very broad shoulders structurally. Nothing high-toned, and none of the brett or VA I often find in this producer. Was kind of bummed that I didn't order something younger and fresher until I remembered what and insane wine this is for the money and who cares. Great with veal and Morrels. 5-10 years ahead at least. — 11 years ago

Спелая вишня, черника, чёрная смородина с плодоножками, горький шоколад, карандашная стружка, намёк на графит. Среднетелое, с мелкозернистыми танинами и высокой кислотностью. В послевкусии тёмные и красные ягоды со взбитыми сливками. Пока что не до конца интегрирований дуб; хороший потенциал. 16,5+/20 — 8 years ago
A touch of sweetness, moderate acidity, moderate alcohol, but wow. Beauty — 9 years ago

its chinon and a baked potato for the windy blustery ides of march, that's dinner since my boo is away and all there's to do is watch game of thrones and work harder and sleep deep dreams that you can only have when you sleep alone. I really enjoy this but lately everything tastes light and characterless. maybe I'm just not listening enough — 12 years ago
Tannic at first but opened up nicely after being decanted. — 8 years ago
Beautiful aromatic gamay — 8 years ago
Dangerously easy to drink. Light compared with the other southern Rhône that night, while striking a great balance between rich soil and approachable freshness. — 8 years ago
Purple. On nose jammy, cooked strawberry, green peppers, highly aromatic, tanic — 9 years ago
Happiness is walking into an account to sell wine and having them pour me a HDB burgundy — 9 years ago
Pinot noir and Chardonnay (80/20%). Dark coloured, strong tasting champagne with the character of a blanc de noirs. The Chardonnay element freshens it up though. Skip Epernay and make the drive to Vesselle's house. It's worth it! — 10 years ago
Strong alc — 11 years ago
Excellent Pinot Noir. A little heavier than a traditional Pinot Noir, with an excellent bouquet. — 12 years ago
