Wilder, juicier, more feral than the 2017 Chamonard Madone Fleurie tried side by side. Less development in the bottle, fresher, cleaner, juicier. Really quite nice, pure tart length. Maybe a 9.3 if this holds up in the fridge.

I love Gamay, and this was a Gamay noir, served slightly chilled. Bright, with lots of acid, fantastic for drinking with food but also really tasty on its own. Lots of fruit.

Medium purple hue with cherry and raspberry and some wet stone on the nose. Juicy red fruit with fine grained tannin and light bodied. Graphite and a bit of rose and banana flavors on the finish.
