Outstanding! Dark fruit(s)…Black Tea…Smoked Meats…Charcoal…And?…way too young to really tell. But, one thing is for sure..a definite cellar addition. — 3 months ago

Beaujolais Villages Gamay 2021

juicy, tannic gamay with black cherry and some plum flavors, it feels like it has residue on the tongue adding some funk to the glass. i had this w/ maitake mushrooms on the menu at lalou. it’s really unique. i haven’t had a gamay with that much texture to it. i am a fan. — 4 months ago

Beauvernay Juliénas Gamay 2020

Characteristic of the region, this gamay has a nice purple color and is very aromatic with ripened tart red fruit and spices. Few tannins, low to medium acidity, and great smoothness. Some baking spices and raspberry, it drinks fresh. Has a depth and complexity that drinks at a higher price point. — 4 months ago

Cuvée Marcel Lapierre Morgon Gamay

A bit divisive amidst our merry cohort of two- I felt was subtly elegant & not as monotone as my drinking buddy. Fine grained, dark cherries, a brooding character. Certainly not complex which makes me wonder if it’s shut down or needs more air. I’ll give it an …. Incomplete — 2 months ago

Clos De La Roilette

Cuvée Tardive Fleurie Gamay 1998

Savory on the nose with a little brett, a little leather, and raspberry fruit, carrying forward on the palate where the leather becomes more prominent but with plenty of fruit. Holding up extremely well. — 3 months ago
