Från CoravinIntensivt blommig och söt doft med nejlokor och jasmin? och röda bär, framför allt jordgubbar, underton av granatäpple, lite gelehallon. Smaken drar med åt lingon, med inslag av örter och lite kryddighet. Stram syra och måttliga tanniner väger upp fruktigheten och gör att det känns elegant. Inga tecken på åldrande tyvärr, frukten dominerar totalt.

Très beau Beaujolais, mur et concentré, mais sans lourdeur. Surprenamment meilleur le lendemain. A 2-3 ans de son apogée. J’adore cette cuvée de Foillard.

Floral nose with red berries and cherries. Good acidity with tart red cherries and herbs on the palate. Nice finish. It does show a bit the ripeness and weight of the vintage, but it still remains a classic Foillard Gamay with all the tartness and balance you’d expect. Lovely wine.

Oh my, this is super terrific! This has dense, red fruit, spice, earth. It’s crunchy defined, with many savory spices, intermixed with game meat, tart Bojo fruit. It’s lovely, inviting, nuanced, and flat out delicious! Drinking really well right now.

No formal notes taken as had at Thanksgiving dinner. Everything I had hoped for though, beautiful Beaujolais with a little age but still with the crunchy fruit profile. A lot going on here, both on the nose and on the palate.

Decanted 4+ hours ahead of turkey dinner and kept slightly chilled until serving. Consistent with past notes only a much more refined red and black fruit profile with a crunchy, tart, rhubarb-and-clove infused finish. Drink 2021-2024. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 93.

This was terrific. It certainly filled all the expectations for a Morgon, and 2015 seems to be a very good year. It offered a wonderful (and I believe, natural, being that it was made by M. Foillard) bouquet of flowery scents and tastes, but with a bit of age on it. I wish I had more bottles - that was it. I had a plan to age this longer, but with shelter in place ongoing, no chance.

Decanted an hour ahead of tacos and fixings. Dark, sappy, cloudy purple and crimson color. The nose brings violets, levender, cloves, and cherry blossoms. The palate is square, tart, juicy, and crunchy, bringing fresh blackberries, huckleberries, red cherries, honeycrisp apples, mahattan bitters, and hints of bananas and strawberry compote. The finish is tannic but refined. This is a heavier style Gamay and still coming together, but fresh and well-made. Drink 2021-2028

Decanted. Now 2h later. Nice melange of ripe blackberries, herbs, minerals, and a hint of bubble gum. Nice blackberries on palate with earth, minerals, stems, and brown leaves. Juicy, vibrant and bright with excellent acids. Nice lingering finish. Nicely done.

Nicely fresh for the vintage. Darker red fruits and some spice and tannin providing some structure.

Beaujolais Bash (Arlequin Wine Merchant, San Francisco) : Great fruit range, earth notes, and a long sweet finish. Lively and what texture! Rolling, gentle tannins. Long long irresistible finish.

Ruby red colour. Sweet cherries and almonds on the nose with hints of earthy minerals. Taste of sweet cherries, blackberries and almonds. Good concentration and friendly tannins. Long and fruity finish. Goes well with duck, pork or mushrooms.

Bu en succ...au même prix que son Corcellette mais pas mal plus convainquant! Nez frais et franc sur la fraise, la craie et l'élevage. Il y a un peu de minéraux aussi et d'herbes. En bouche, vraiment beau et gourmand, belle amplitude et pas mal de matière. Il y a la fraise qui revient, la canneberge, du poivre blanc, et une belle impression de minéral. La finale est de longueur moyenne et montre un bel équilibre de l'ensemble. Très beau …

This wine hits my current favor - natural wines from the Beaujolais region. So many are so delicious; they may not have the complexity of other wines from other regions, but they make up for it in irresistability, for me at least. Actually, having said that, this wine was very interesting. It had a lifespan. It opened with freshness but sort of a thin body and presence. Over time, the body really filled out and it drank more like a …

Spring Swing Through France-Random Wines Tasted or Imbibed; 4/14/2018-4/25/2018 (Burgundy, Alsace, Paris) : Red. Red fruit aromas. Nice ripe but light attack followed by bright cranberry and soil. I love the tartness and bite for a ‘15. Nicely rendered wine.
