Light bodied, low alcohol, bright acidity and soft tannins. Easy drinking summer red. Had it chilled. Great break from the usual. Fruit forward & funky. Great for a chill pizza night or to open on a hot day with friends on the deck. — a month ago

My first exposure to this producer was an absolute pleasure! Enticing floral notes foreshadowed crisp Asian apple and minerality on the mid and back palette. This wine was a perfect complement to oysters, scallops and mild white fish prepared for the table and enjoyed by all. — 4 months ago

First taste? That typical purple color but nose is well resolved with primary fruit having evolved into an intriguing dark berries earthy profile with a tinge of mintiness. Lovely and lively palate. Nice. — 10 months ago

Clear, deep ruby colour. Clean, pronounced red fruits and pepper on the nose. Dry, high acidity and tannins, with ripe plum, red cherries and heaps of pepper! Full-bodied with a very long finish. Very good quality.

Great accompaniment to the beautifully cooked, glazed fillet.

Intense savoury cherry. See previous Delectable note. Vacqueyras - 2nd only to Gigondas for Côtes du Rhône villages. This wine was 70% Grenache (over 60 years old), 15% Syrah (40 years old) and 15% Mourvèdre (40 years old). Tends to be slightly more rustic than Gigondas although this was very satisfying and good QPR. Alcohol a bit high at 14.5%. — 6 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2021 “Beauroy” pours light straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of green apple, lemon/lime citrus, lemon curd, honeysuckle. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes form the nose. The finish is long and a touch rich for a 2021 Chablis. Compared to some other ‘21’s I’ve recently had, this came across more round. Very good. Drink now through 2031. — 9 months ago

Pale gold with tiny bubbles concentrated at the center of the glass. Biscuit, brioche, green apple, pear, lemon, orange, and a hint of cheese. Medium body with bright acidity, a soft, lively mousse, and a medium-plus finish. Good value Champagne for the price.
