2011 vintage. A serious wine from the lower part of the famous Cote du Py, on les Javernieres exactly but from the oldest vines...some were planted in...1914 ( the youngest vines...25+ give birth to Les Javernieres cuvee). south east facing on deep, iron oxide rich soils, this is a serious, robust wine. Whole bunch fermented, an ink black colour, deep and richly scented. The palate is full, rich and tight. Youth, it opens up nicely overnight and reveal classic meaty, rusty notes. This is very promising and will develop nicely over the next 10 years. Beaujolais has more on offer than wines to pour down through the sink.
