Light red. Nose of crushed cherry and bubble gum. Bold red fruit flavor but not overpowering. Long finish. — 7 months ago
This 16-year-old Beaujolais is in a beautiful place, red and black fruits, lovely texture (like an older red Burgundy), very nice balance, mature but holding on beautifully. I have 2-3 more bottles of this stood up, this is showing better than the last bottle I opened a month or so ago. — 5 months ago
Plenty of ripe red fruit, bubble gum, medium body and a lot of brett on the nose. — 7 months ago
Exceptional. Top 5 across all Bojo and tops of a great lineup from Burgaud. — 5 years ago
The side label says this is from the Grands Cras lieu dit. This definitely smells and tastes like a low or no sulfite “natural” wine. Not so much because of any barnyard notes, but because of how juicy and bright the “just crushed” Gamay juiciness jets out of the glass. There’s some nice granitic minerality too. The flavors seem to change with each sip. Bright, deep, lively, and playful. Really fun wine. BTW, there was a surprising amount of very floaty, almost Pinot Noir-like sediment in the bottle. I double-decanted to get rid of it and poured a couple of tablespoons of those dregs in the chicken braise I’m making. — 4 months ago
This wine comes from a time when natural wine was still a revolution, not a trend. Foillard, one of the Gang of Four, took Gamay to wild, expressive heights with deep structure and an earthy sensuality which entices any wine lover. Twenty years later this wine is a testament of passion; on the palate the wine is so harmonious it decimates in your mouth like the most beautiful time lapse you’ve ever experienced. Great wine. — 5 months ago
Red deep fruit colour. Very nice nose of cherry and spices, pepper. In the mouth it is both crunchy and of a beautiful intensity, which will express all the better as the bottle will have been aerated for at least a good hour. An elegant bourguignon beaujolais, with a gastronomic profile that is still a little young. Clearly tailored for long guard. — 3 years ago

Really juicy, well balanced, nice barny finish. — 5 years ago
Really nice, easy drinking red up my alley. Not Smokey, fruity in fact, but stayed dry. Split a bottle with Alec waiting for Stevie to be born — 5 months ago
