Some animal/barnyard/bretty aromas and flavors, lovely redfruits as well, even at age 10, this lovely Gamay (wine is labeled “Vin de France”, so maybe grapes are outside the Beaujolais AOC (??)), is still singing, nice acid balance, medium-long finish, very good Gamay!!

Another “find” from my cellar, Ducroux is really an amazing producer of fresh and complex Gamay, very redfruit, crisp, pure, and super refreshing, long finish, very fine natural Beaujolais!!!
