Not yet reviewed. 2015 vintage:
92 pts - Vinous: “Bright magenta. A suave, expansive bouquet evokes ripe red fruits, candied flowers, and smoky minerals, along with a hint of peppery spices in the background. In a distinctly elegant yet concentrated style, offering seamless, appealingly sweet raspberry and spicecake flavors that show very good depth as well as finesse. Juicy acidity adds lift and finishing cut to a very long, floral-dominated finish framed by smooth tannins.”
91 pts/BEST BUY/Year’s Best Red Burgundy - Wine & Spirits: “This is a concentrated Fleurie from a parcel of 80-year-old bush-vine gamay. The wine’s bright purple fruit has complex herbal intensity, like the earthy scent of digging in a garden of thyme and rosemary. There’s a tobacco note as well, a smoky meatiness to the tannins that would match up with a grilled lamb chop.”
91 pts - Very Good+ - KensWineGuide.com: “This dark ruby colored Beaujolais from Fleurie opens with an attractive mild mulberry and plum bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and juicy. The flavors profile is a mineral infused mild red raspberry and red plum. I also detected hints of old oak mixed in. The finish is dry and gently fades away. This is true Cru level quality Beaujolais. I would pair it with leftover Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches.”
88 pts - Wine Spectator: “Plush tannins support the pureed raspberry and currant fruit of this medium-bodied red, with licorice and floral aromas following up on the creamy, mineral-tinged finish.”
