Really interesting to try this out. Very light bodied and high acidity, almost out of balance. Aromatically pretty similar to a chardonnay from the Jura. — 2 years ago

Beautiful natural beajoulais. Juicy dark berries and a little holiday spice on the front, tannins in the middle and then incredibly mouth watering acidity on the end. 10/10 — 4 years ago

Maxime is Alain Graillot's son. He obviously paid attention as he nailed this. Primal Syrah. Great now with some time to breathe and open... greater in years to come. Loved it. — 6 years ago

Popped and poured; consumed over two days. Consistent throughout. The 2020 Alain Graillot pours a deep ruby with a hit of violet. Medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. Some slight signs of fine sediment. On the nose, the wine is moderate intensity. Fresh black bramble fruit, baked/smoked blueberries, dry oil cured black olives, black pepper, lavender potpourri, dried herb encrusted saucisson, stony minerals and subtle baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry; medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes on the nose. The finish is so long with a streak of minerals. The body is medium but the fruit is so grippy and clings to the palate giving the impression that it’s bigger than it is. Maxime said that they had picked way early compared to previous, recent years and completed harvest by September 3rd; a whole week before their neighbors began harvest. It shows. Remarkably fresh. Lovely. Utterly beautiful. Drink now with patience (and to enjoy the full-send freshness) or enjoy over the next 15+ years. Alain’s legacy seems to be in very good hands. — 2 years ago

Purple-grenat dress, semi-deep, beautiful shine. Deep herbal nose, more than fruity, smoked breeding note, earthy, sweet spices, pepper. Light body, with material and intensity to withstand several years of aging and still evolve. Has not yet reached full maturity. At D+2 it expanded. A fairly sober, but promising, Beaujolais on guard.

Robe pourpre-grenat, semi-profonde, bel éclat. Nez profond végétal, plus que fruité, note d’élevage fumée, terreux, épices douces, poivre. Corps léger, avec de la matière et de l’intensité pour supporter plusieurs années de garde et encore évoluer. N’a pas encore atteint sa pleine maturité. À J+2 il s’est étoffé. Un Beaujolais de garde assez sobre, mais prometteur. — 2 years ago

Definitely like the Pouillote bottling better for about 10 USD less. This was 100 percent Munier, and a higher vineyard it seems. Pouillote was 80, with 20 Chardonnay. — 4 years ago

Great Champagne from a small producer (3000 bottles a year). An intriguing mix of citrus and apple flavors, very sharp yet also slightly creamy. Long, with a lingering salty finish. — 8 years ago

For my 500th reviewed wine it happened to be this one. And ‘08 is so good. Saline, yeasty, full of energy. Just like this 2020 so far for me. I’m getting more. Cheers — 5 years ago
