Delicious - inky dense chewy lots going on, all manner of dark fruit & pepper. Luscious & elegant, really enjoyed this and reinforces my growing affinity for Cru Beaujolais — 2 years ago

So much better than the 2 bottles of his 2018 Chenas I had recently. — 2 years ago

Moulin-à-Vent AOC extends from the town of Romaneche-Thorins to Chenas. Ruby color with aromas of dark berry fruit with notes of sweet spice and floral notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and currants with licorice, floral, spice and earthy notes. Fine dusty tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, spice and mineral character. — a year ago

Purple-grenat dress, semi-deep, beautiful shine. Deep herbal nose, more than fruity, smoked breeding note, earthy, sweet spices, pepper. Light body, with material and intensity to withstand several years of aging and still evolve. Has not yet reached full maturity. At D+2 it expanded. A fairly sober, but promising, Beaujolais on guard.

Robe pourpre-grenat, semi-profonde, bel éclat. Nez profond végétal, plus que fruité, note d’élevage fumée, terreux, épices douces, poivre. Corps léger, avec de la matière et de l’intensité pour supporter plusieurs années de garde et encore évoluer. N’a pas encore atteint sa pleine maturité. À J+2 il s’est étoffé. Un Beaujolais de garde assez sobre, mais prometteur. — 2 years ago

Pure fruit- strawberry/cherry, some dusty tannins and a hint of smokiness makes this quite nice. — 3 years ago

This Chenas is ver’nice. Good value. Some darker fruit at play that adds weight with air. Easy going without being frivolous. — 2 years ago

Bright garnet color with ruby highlights. Aromas and flavors of ripe red berry fruit. A pleasant “stemmy” green quality along with an earthy/mineral note. Long finish and nice dry tannins. Vibrant acidity. Dense texture and a bit of heft. Beautifully fresh tasting. Revisited in July of 2023. Still fantastic! — 2 years ago
