SKU #1196591 91 points Vinous

Outer quote mark Vivid ruby. Deeply pitched dark berry, licorice and violet scents show very good clarity and complicating notes of smoky minerals and botanical herbs. Fleshy and broad in the mouth, with juicy blackberry and bitter cherry flavors gaining sweetness with air. Rich yet lively Beaujolais with excellent finishing clarity and cling and smooth tannins that come in late. (JR) Inner quote mark (2/2015)

K&L Notes

This comes from 75-year-old vines on the Haute Ronze hill at 320 meters of elevation in sandy and granitic soils, with favorable south and south-east exposures. Aged 9 months in concrete vats, this sees no wood.

We all know Beaujolais can offer delicious, easy-drinking wines, and this offering is no exception. That being said, there is enough weight and structure for this wine to be taken seriously. The black cherry and black raspberry flavors wrap up nicely on the softly tannic, mineral-driven finish. At this price, I'm buying a case!

Here's one of my new summertime favorites. From a small hillside in Cru Regine comes a a deliciously light Beaujolais, ripe with fresh flavors of strawberry and cherries. Simple, versatile and refreshing, this wine is a super value. Slightly chill and enjoy with friends.

Not your typical Beaujolais due to the old vines the fruit is sourced from, contributing to this Gamay's darker fruits and mineral-driven backbone. There are still minimal tannins and a bright, lifted feel of acidity. I prefer to put a slight chill on this bottle and kick back on the patio.

Such a great value! A fresh, easy-drinking wine from old vines, this is slightly fuller than many wines from this area. Strong minerality drives the bright cherry fruit of the Gamay grape, with a very subtle appearance of bubblegum, a classic trait of Beaujolais wines. Perfect for spicy chicken.

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Gamay

- Ah, poor, oft-maligned Gamay. Once widely planted in Burgundy, today the grape is largely confined to Beaujolais. The varietal, officially called Gamay Noir à Jus Blanc is vigorous, early-ripening and can grow in cooler climates. The grapes naturally high acidity, low tannins and low potential alcohol lends itself to exuberant, fruity wines, ranging from the early-release Beaujolais Nouveau, to the more serious Cru Beaujolais from villages like Brouilly, Moulin-à-Vent and St-Amour that are steadily gaining in popularity (and can age remarkably well). Outside of Beaujolais, Gamay is also grown in small amounts around the Loire where it is called Anjou Gamay and Gamay de Touraine. It is also grown in Burgundy's Côte Chalonnaise where it is blended with Pinot Noir, as it is in Switzerland.

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Beaujolais

- Region in east central France, often considered a part of Burgundy, but really quite distinct. The principal grape grown here is Gamay Noir. Familiar to many as the source of the Beaujolais Nouveau, the first wine of the vintage, Beaujolais is often fresh, fruity and very appealing red wine. Besides the straight Beaujolais, there is also Beaujolais Villages, and what is known as Cru Beaujolais. The 10 individual Crus, such as Moulin à Vent, Brouilly, Fleurie, Julienas, St. Amour and Chénas, each have their own character, and much more depth than someone who has only tried a simple Beaujolais could ever guess. These often represent value-priced, lovely, food-friendly wines.
