$36.00 per single bottle
Inky ruby. A heady, highly complex bouquet evokes dark fruit liqueur, incense and floral pastille qualities, along with notes of smoked meat and star anise. Sweet and deeply concentrated yet lively, offering sappy, spice-tinged cassis and boysenberry flavors that gain energy with air. Velvety tannins frame the sappy fruit on an extremely long, smoky finish. […]

Desvignes Morgon Montpelain 2018

$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 – […]

$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 […]

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 – […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

Everything about the Charly Thevenet Grain & Granit Regnie 2018 is vivid. The wine is ruby coloured and almost shockingly bright.

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 – […]

Corcelette’s soils are of sandy pink granite. Facing south-east with a high elevation of 470 metres, the wines of Corcellete are some of the prettiest in Beaujolais. Beautiful aromatics, without the overtness of the first two wines. Raspberry, strawberry, cranberry and plum. The palate is ever so bright. Once again red fruits, with a medium […]
