Dominique Piron Beaujolais Brouilly 2018
$30.00in any six
$35.00 per single bottle
2018 is a great vintage for Piron. The Beaujolais Brouilly is full-bodied, nicely structured and intense. Huge volume of fruit all wrapped up tightly in a textured, gripping package. Brouilly is the largest and furthest south of the Beaujolais crus. It has good south eastern exposure, at the bottom of the Saône Valley at an […]

The 2018 Morgon La Voute Saint Vincent bursts with aromas of cherries, blackberries, rose petals and licorice.

$39.00 per single bottle
As of the 2016 vintage, Vissoux’s emblematic Cuvée Traditionnelle Vieilles Vignes has been relabeled as Cuvée Origine Vieilles Vignes. Vissoux’s exemplary old vines bottling was first crafted in 1986 at the behest of Jean Brouilly, the then Michelin-starred chef of Tarare restaurant. The idea behind this wine when it was first produced was to be […]

Desvignes Morgon Montpelain 2018
Add to cart$38.00in any six
$43.00 per single bottle
Plump, rosy, mineral, plush and full of cherries and spice. It’s a beautiful thing to drink with a web of silky and silty tannin, sweet earth, ripe strawberry, and long and lusciously ripe, sweet and perfumed finish, dried herb and a slight warmth. Dive in now, or a little later. Either way. 94 points – […]

Daniel Bouland Cote de Brouilly Cuvee Melanie 2016
Add to cart$44.00in any six
$47.00 per single bottle
Cuvee Melanie is named after Daniel Bouland’s daughter. It’s made from 70 year old vines and the vineyard is a tiny, steep half hectare, close planted with 6000 vines. The soils are blue tinted volcanic soils, unique to Brouilly. The 2016 is very open now but will age well. Expressive nose of blueberry, cassis, plums […]

Domaine Chignard Fleurie Les Moriers 2018
$43.00in any six
$47.00 per single bottle
I seem to have missed, or not reviewed, the 2016 and 2017, which is odd, given I love this producer. Must have been busy doing something else at the time… Average age of vines is 80 years old, and gee, when Fleurie is good, it’s compelling for its perfume and energy, not least its 100 […]

Thivin ‘Reverdon’ Brouilly 2018

$50.00 per single bottle
A nice freshness and width to this aroma – but tighter below – clean and attractive with a faint spice. In the mouth this is truly excellent – mobile, fresh, with energy and searching out every place in your mouth. Darkly fruited and with the energy that makes you want to take another sip – […]

Georges Descombes Regnie 2018
Add to cart$48.00in any six
$52.00 per single bottle
The 2018 Régnié from Georges Descombes is a finely balanced wine, even in a warmer vintage. Régnié is the most recent Cru in Beaujolais and perhaps the least well known. Stylistically the wines have a lovely velvety charm but perhaps without the minerality of some of the other Crus. They excel with an attractive fruitiness […]

Georges Descombes Brouilly 2018
Add to cart$48.00in any six
$52.00 per single bottle
This Brouilly comes from 3.5 hectares on steep slopes, farmed organically. Carbonic maceration with whole clusters then a slow vertical press to finish the fermentation. No additives, a small addition of SO2 before bottling. The 2018 shows beautifully ripe but high-toned red fruits, with lovely aromas of strawberry, blackberry and violet with herbal and citrus […]

Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette Vieilles Vignes Sable 2018
Add to cart$49.00in any six
$53.00 per single bottle
Sable means sand, and this is based on two sandy parcels of vines planted in 1926, so truly a Vieilles Vignes cuvée. Bouland’s 1.5 hectares are subdivided into two different plots, both on Corcellete’s classic sandy soils, but one with some rocky granite pebbles as well. Bouland’s Sable has depth, intensity and personality coaxed from […]

Daniel Bouland Morgon Bellevue Cailloux 2019
Add to cart$50.00in any six
$55.00 per single bottle
Bouland’s Morgon Bellevue Cailloux 2019 is made exactly the same way as all of the Bouland wines: natural, whole-bunch ferment, concrete tank/foudre élevage and no fining. This is fascinating to compare directly with the Sable (sand) cuvée. Here, there’s more plum and blackcurrant depths, and also a smoky, hot-rocks kind of mineral profile. Long and strong, […]

Daniel Bouland Morgon Delys 2019
$50.00in any six
$55.00 per single bottle
As always, this is likely to be Bouland’s most age-worthy wine and it is something special in 2019. It’s a superb Délys, expressing lifted mulberry fruit, lots of spice, hints of nettle and a certain, graphite-like minerality. Already a wonderful drink but, as always, the tannins are the most tightly wound, the steeliest, reminding us that […]

$55.00 per single bottle
The 2019 is our first taste from Bouland’s recently acquired parcel in the lieu-dit called Pré Jourdan, which sits on the Morgon-Fleurie border. Bouland now farms a tiny parcel here of 70-year-old vines, just enough to fill a single large cask (a five-year-old Rousseau foudre in this case). The soils here are predominantly granitic sand, although they run deeper […]

Produced from vines that are two years into organic conversion and matured in foudre, Sunier’s 2018 Beaujolais-Lantignié Wild Soul bursts with aromas of raspberries, grilled meats, licorice and rich soil tones. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with powdery tannins, lively acids and a flavorful finish. Sunier tells me he’s looking […]

Vibrant, fresh and fleshy. Bursts out of the glass and onto the palate. So juicy, jolly, bright in a way but also lots of stony minerality. Dark plummy fruit, char and salted liquorice, svelte tannins, great shape, long and sinewy in a way. This is very elegant, well formed gamay, very beautiful. You could almost […]

The 2018 Clos Bertrand is garnet red in colour with a bluish reflection. Wonderfully floral nose of irises and peonies, complimented by bright cherries.

Everything about the Charly Thevenet Grain & Granit Regnie 2018 is vivid. The wine is ruby coloured and almost shockingly bright. Wildy aromatic, it has a vibrant compote of red fruits, including strawberry, raspberry and cranberry. Sappy spice and minerals complete the picture.

The name suggests something, no doubt! Whole bunch, concrete tanks, no additions, hello. Bright and vivacious style, deep into ripe cherry, stewed cherry, warm forest berry zone with pops of pepper, green herb and chamomile. Supple in the palate, soft and round, mouth-watering acidity and supple tannins. Lovely, bright finish closes the wine. Such a […]

The volume is turned up here. Big cherry, big strawberry, wild herbs, alpine herbs, some game meatiness. Nice. Chewy palate but fresh feeling. Jolly slosh in the palate, rolls around nicely, fresh-feeling but with lots of depth, a wild balsamic tang in there too. Spicy finish. Very. Perky, bold strike of Booj. 94 points – […]

Every year this is one of the great wines of Beaujolais by all measures. From 2017 the first hint at quality is, as usual, the vibrant colour. You can see the richness and depth, then the billowing perfume. Aromas are bright and crystal clear with entrancing red/black cherries and hints of sweet kirsch. The taste […]

Tucked away up in the hills between Morgon and Fleurie, Chiroubles has often been described as “the most Beaujolais of the ten crus of Beaujolais.” In other words, it’s everything that makes wines from this region so loveable – low alcohol, explosive flowery aromas, high-toned juicy fruit. The nose here is bright and crystal clear, […]

Beaujolais in late January makes for an eerie landscape. The grey, cloudy skies are set against hectares of dead earth dotted with lines of stunted, gnarly vines, pruned down for the dormant stages of winter. In the morning, fog rolls over and down the hillsides and the wet clay sticks to your shoes. It’s a […]

Brilliant magenta. A hugely perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red berries, cherry preserves, candied violet and exotic spices, along with a vibrant mineral nuance that expands with air. Stains the palate with sweet, penetrating raspberry, cherry, mulberry and floral pastille flavors that display a suave blend of power and delicacy. The spicy note comes back on […]

Silky and focused in the mouth, offering alluringly sweet black raspberry, cherry-cola, spicecake and rose pastille flavors that are underscored by a vein of smoky minerality. Gentle tannins sneak up slowly […]
