Wow. Clove, nutmeg, pepper, pear, citrus, chewing gum, candy. Salty and greasy mouth, sweet finish. Quite an experience. — 6 years ago
Only back home for three days since our grand excursion, oh Burgundy how I miss you and your beautiful landscapes with tiny villages.
(I don't miss how tall my damn grass grew in the lawn during our absence!)
Flinty nose with beautiful white flowers.
Flint, minerals, lime-honey on the palate, acidity is noticable but not distracting. Finish is like forever. We will attempt to restrain ourselves from drinking this whole bottle this evening, as based on recent Saint Aubin tastings, this will continue to evolve with air and patience. I feel this bottle is still young, many years ahead for enjoyment.
Thanks @David T for turning me towards Lamy... I'll be back for more!
24hr Update: So creamy, beautiful Chardonnay fruit, yellow apple, faint flinty notes today, acidy is still noticable, and enjoyable. I'm not sure I like it more or less than the initial approach, it's a different, also great, wine today. — 7 years ago
Big red gum. Delicious. — 9 years ago
I can't stop drinking this... This might be a good problem... Dark red ruby in color with a medium-plus intensity. The nose is filled with dark bing cherries, fresh cranberries, wet violets, wild mushrooms, moss, forest floor, smoked wood, and wet rocks. The palate was fleshy, mysterious and refined. Mushrooms and a perfect dose of acidity and chewy tannic structure made the finish irresistible. It's balance competes and stands tall with any of the great Burgundy producers. It's truly astonishing how this 12.5% Gamay is so complex. This bottle is hard to put down. Cheers to a perfect Friday night! — 9 years ago
Palate is full-bodied, rich with flavours to match the aromas of the wine
🥫
Structured, smooth and persistent fruit characters with black cherry plum berry sauce all black fruit on note, reflects on its deep magenta purple red on visuals
Aroma of dark fruits with hints of spice from french oak, perfume and cologne
🐇
Again, palate is full-bodied and rich with flavours, soft yet easy, with its full rich sweetness of fruit, nicely balance, finish with soft hint of chocolate structured, black dark fruit

Had this with blue cheese and pears... delicious! Sweet, but not pure sugar. Would definitely have it again. Bought at Meijer. — 6 years ago
Slightly effervescent!
Black currant
Floral on the nose
Later I got slight bubble gum flavor
Very cheeky! — 7 years ago
I think greenock wines are not my cup of tea. Classic note of soy sauce, a greenish note and bubble gum. I am sure some will like this style but just not me — 8 years ago
Strawberry yogurt bubble gum banana and red liquorish on the nose. Inferior strawberry, rhubarb, and cranberries on the palate. Enjoyed this a lot - easy drinking — 8 years ago
a bright, bubble gum, moscato-y nose, but crisp and clean on the palate. — 9 years ago
Tall Grass. Smooth, nice mix of toasty notes with fruit and acid. Classic chardonnay. Would buy again. — 5 years ago

Dark fruit, slight effervescent sensation, aftertaste of bubble gum — 7 years ago
On the lighter side, but strong and VERY very smooth. Almost no aftertaste at all — 8 years ago
Smells like orange blossoms and cherry cough syrup (in a promising and good way), tastes like tart red berries, pomegranate. 2016 was a hard year for Beaujolais, but despite lacking that bubble gum pop, this will surely find a place at the Thanksgiving table alongside a fatty-gravy-having, moist turkey w/ cranberry sauce...I don't care what anyone thinks. Plus a light wine helps w/ not succumbing to the tryptophane and passing out early or calling aunty Carol a trashmonger. — 8 years ago
Bubble gum, dry red roses and a little spice on the nose. Dark raspberries, dark cherries, raspberries, some strawberries, bubble gum, bandaid, violets & red roses, granite, soft spice and rich sweet dark soil. There's nice evolution in the bottle as its so soft, smooth and elegant. Jean Foillard, Marcel La Pierre and Yvon Metras are my favorite producers for Gamay. — 9 years ago
