Airy, elegant, dexterous and quite a beautiful wine, drink now, don't wait.

2019 vintage

Dried leaves on autumn pavement with a few old crushed raspberries. Lovely.

Served lightly chilled to bring out the loganberry and raspberry fruit this was sappy and minerally with some real bite. Light on its feet and nicely balanced as it opened up the fruit had a more mulled wine character. Sprinkled with a little pepper this was very palatable but I think I would have enjoyed this even more had I drunk it up a couple of years back. CHP 88pts

Very fragrant nose - maybe violet Open soft and 13% Delicious to drink without thinking too much, light and not a huge finish but easy to down a glass or two Some savoury edges but mostly fragrant and floral fruit - strawberry / raspberry with blacker fruits like blueberry

Bright raspberry fruit lifted by sappiness and pleasing acidity. The tannins are so soft they’re invisible but this developed a silky smooth texture on the palate, followed by a lingering finish. The initial flush of youth may have faded a little but this is holding up superbly. Delicious! CHP 89pts

I like it. Drinking well but no rush, don’t think it’s one for aging though.

Fresh and crunchy fruit. Taut acidity at first. Almost like young Sangiovese! With air it softened and developed to show some complexity. A nice journey.

Bottle 1324g. Aromas of elevated intensity, including tart red and black fruit, a little sweet spice. Dry, with elevated fresh acidity, medium-bodied, 13% abv, modest tannins, dark fruit. A little reserved: it may need some time to open up.... After 45 minutes, the wine is opening up, showing some of the intoxicating perfume I've come to expect from this producer.

2019 vintage

Consistent with previous bottle. Tart and juicy red fruits, earthy and slightly gamey.

2019 vintage

Very fresh and high-toned, this had beautifully refined acidity and soft approachable tannins. I loved the balance and elegance and was really impressed with the cherry fruit finish. Star quality. 89+ pts

Dried meadow flowers. Ethereal, transparent and expressive. Crazy good value.

2019 vintage

Very light and floral from memory but was the end of an evening - will revisit

2019 vintage

Consistent with previous bottle. Slightly earthy and floral strawberry pie. Delicious, juicy gamay.

2019 vintage

Popped and poured. Initially a bit herbal and floral and earthy but with air, lots of nice pure red fruit joined in with cranberry, wild strawberry and a bit of strawberry jam. Very pretty. Similar flavors on the palate with delicious, silky red berry fruit mixed with some floral notes and a bit of earthiness. Medium+ acid, medium- tannin. Lighter bodied and just delicious. Bottle disappeared quick.

Bloomin delicious. Fruit, sunshine, soft, crisp edges, clean and pure. This I guess comes from superb fruit handled in a confident and knowledgeable way. A perfect example of Fleurie and a wine to enjoy. All the Beaujolais hallmarks carried in a great wine. It might keep but I'll just be buying more.

2019 vintage

Light red. Strawberries. Violets? Ripe elderberries. Lively, acidity driven at first. Licorice root. Banana. Very soft, velvety mouthfeel. Extraordinary Q/P. Decant. Or cellar for 2-3 years.
