La Bottière Juliénas Gamay

Another very nice ‘22 Bojo. I am in the process of revising upward my view of the ‘22 vintage there. Nose is very exuberant, with pure and zingy black cherry fruit, verging into purple berry territory, and nose-tingly granitic rock dust. There is also a dusting of baking spice. In the mouth it has nice concentration, ripe but zingy fruit, integrated minerality. Acids are surprisingly crisp. I expect this to integrate and be better in a year or two. But really nice now as well.
