Cherry, raspberry, that Cola touch that I like in great Beaujolais, hay, an earthy thing too. Wow this is very inviting. The palate is very well made. Strong acid backbone, cherry and raspberry all along, very wide and spherical mid palate that powers up a very long fruity finish that goes on for a a very long time. Gosh I love great crus Beaujolais made like this. — 7 months ago
Ruby with aromas of ripe red and black fruits, spices with floral notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, cranberry, cassis, and fennel with lively ymineral notes. Chalky firm tannins, vivid acidity, medium+ finish ending with mineral and fruit. Nice! — 9 months ago
This was the "Le Plateau" (not the old vines) and loved it. — 2 months ago
Cherry, violet, hay, a tiny touch of licorice too. This is quite exciting and profound. The palate is showing a massive acid backbone, some width and grip, some cherry notes, but the fruit is a little discreet. There are tannins popping up in the rear, disturbing the mouthfeel, powering up a tangy finish with cherry and a nice bitter note along with a tiny salty touch, almost sea breezesque if that makes sense. This is a serious beaujo, very different from fruit bombs and other crowd-pleasing usual expressions that people tend to rave about. This is gastronomy wine and playing in the same league as some other wines from a different varietal that grow a bit farther to the north. — 4 months ago
Spicy cranberry, black tea, crushed leaves. Fall in a bottle. Fun stuff. — 6 months ago
Tasted blind while knowing the list of wines. Guessed only the appellation. Perfumed bouquet of strawberries, earth, bitter dark chocolate and red flowers. Nice acidity, good balance. Tannin is light, which is nice. A bit feminine and beautiful wine. I enjoyed it much more during the afterparty. IMO good value and great style.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over three days. Best on Day 3 but slayed from Day 1. The 2021 “P’tit Max” sources fruit from Guy Breton’s oldest vines in Les Charmes; some nearing a century old. It can often be one of the harder expressions from the Gang of Four to find. The wine pours a pale ruby color with a slightly hazy, transparent core and a watery rim. Medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, so fresh! Almost like a spring rain shower. The fruit is so beautiful: strawberry, watermelon, kiwi, red flowers mixed with some anise and wet asphalt. On the palate, winsome structure with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and I want to spread it over toast. This is drinking so well in its youth but this undoubtedly has a long life ahead. If anyone has multiples, I would recommend enjoying one now and cellaring other bottles to be enjoyed over the next 15+ years. — 5 months ago
At first I thought I hadn’t opened early enough but I think the fruit’s just gone. Bummer bc I love Morgon beauj’s, but just not as expressive as a Beauj should be. Very faded on both the nose and palate — 7 months ago
Tasted blind while knowing the list of wines. Guessed only the wider region. I failed to guess the bottle despite tasting it... ah, almost 3 years ago. In that case, I am pleased to say that the wine improved and still has the energy to keep kicking. Bubble gum, nordic berries, spices. Slightly bitter with good acidity, but IMO a bit simple.
