Domaine Marc Delienne Avalanche de Printemps Fleurie 2018
Add to cart$54.00in any six
$59.00 per single bottle
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 […]

Jean Foillard Morgon Cote du Py 2018
Add to cart$83.00in any six
$91.00 per single bottle
The 2018 Morgon Côte du Py is showing very nicely, offering up a classy bouquet of raspberries and plums, mingled with hints of orange rind, violet and cardamom. Medium to full-bodied, deep and complete, with a fleshy but elegantly understated core and an expansive finish. Impressively integrated—indeed, it was only after spending half an hour […]

Desvignes Morgon Montpelain 2019
Add to cart$41.00in any six
$45.00 per single bottle
Ripe cherry, spice, stony and slightly earth, but has perfume too. It’s medium-bodied, deep in flavour and neatly packed with graphite tannin – the feel of it is rumbling and distinctly ‘mineral’ – finishes with aromatic herbs and sweet cherry and raspberry flavour, and again that tannin going about its business so convincingly. Terrific wine. […]

$91.00 per single bottle
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 […]

Desvignes Morgon Cote du Py Javernieres 2019
Add to cart$47.00in any six
$51.00 per single bottle
It has plenty of depth and oomph, plum and raspberries, plenty of spice and dried flower perfume. Medium-bodied, plenty of crushed rock powdery tannin, some meaty bunch character too, but nothing to interfere with the pure dark red fruit. Finish is particularly long, and the feel of the tannin as it closes is most excellent. […]

Domaine Chignard Fleurie Les Moriers 2019
Add to cart$46.00in any six
$50.00 per single bottle
As always this is bright, focused, and energetic. The Les Moriers’ fruit-filled character reflects its outstanding terroir with good concentration and a superb depth not usually found in the wines of Fleurie. 2019 is a very ‘Beaujolais’ vintage displaying crispness, tautness and freshness. It’s made from great grapes so is still lush and vivid, tasting […]

$91.00 per single bottle
The Charmes lieu-dit is one of the highest in Morgon. South facing, the soil is of Schist and granite. Vibrant colour, tending to red rather than purple. Once again, soaring aromatics. Plums, raspberry, cherry and violets. Immense energy, more than we were expecting. Red fruits, peach and blood orange and the most mineral of the […]

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 […]

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, […]

Yves Cuilleron Gamay 2018
$32.00in any six
$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. […]

It is not often we get to taste a wine that is as fine and elegant on the one hand. And on the other hand? Wild intensity coupled with a mineral, earthy, gamey complexity. There really is nothing else like it in Beaujolais. Jean-Paul Thevenet has made one of his grandest wines with this Morgon […]

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 – […]

The 2016 Morgon Cuvée 3.14 is a beautiful wine in the making, unfurling in the glass with scents of rose petals, blood orange, sweet wild berries, smoked meats and some subtly reductive top notes that dissipate in the glass.

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.

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 […]

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.

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 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 […]
