Clos De La Roilette

Clos de la Roilette Griffe du Marquis Fleurie Gamay 2012

Proof that Cru Beauj can age. This bottle was better than the last one. Brighter ruby color, fresher red berry fruit, light tannins and good acidity . Best wine of the night in a killer lineup. — 12 days ago

Fleurie Gamay

Rough around the edges for Fleurie, but full of charm. Jammy, slate-y, and whoever said licorice was right on the nose. Beautiful on night two, as well. — 3 months ago

Les Cocottes Fleurie Gamay 2023

Delightfully carbonic and stemmy. Notes of tart and ever so slightly underripe blackberries and raspberries. Very floral and true to Fleurie. Love it. Wish I saved it for Thanksgiving. — 6 months ago

I’ve noticed that, in recent years, many types of wines (particularly from various regions in France) seem blockier and less unified/integrated when young. Like all the components are there, but separated and not vertically integrated. And it seems more pronounced the hotter the growing season that year. I am beginning to think this is a result of global warming. What I don’t yet have a fix on is if time in bottle ultimately integrates these wines. Since I tend to drink wines on the younger side, I’m not sure I’ll ever get to the point where I can make a confident conclusion on that.
