Ruby with purplish rim. Typical Cabernet Franc nose of red berries, a vegetal edge plus a touch of violet. Compact and firm; dense fruity core and a very finely grained tannic backbone lead to a lifted, aromatic finish. Drink or hold 4 to 5 years.
Clear, very dark, the colour of cherry cola. Strong nose of figs and dates; judicious wood treatment shows in vanilla and chocolate aromas. Tastes like a dry port: strongly fruity with more dates and raisins. Tannins are soft; drink now. Good value.
The power of Moulin-à-Vent streams through in this wine, made by Beaujolais terroir legend Jean-Paul Brun. Gracefully structured, with wild raspberries and herbal rock rose aromas. Bamboo thin, grippy and firm tannins support more wild raspberry and strawberry and ample granitic minerality. Acids are precise and nimble, and the finish liberally white pepper and lingering. A beauty to drink now, but will reward with 5 more years in the cellar.
Clear deep garnet. Complex nose to be savoured: blueberry, blackberry, pepper, cinnamon, dates and raisins. Punches above its weight with ripe cherry-fruit accented by rose petals, smoke and resin. Well balanced with soft tannins. Drink now while the fruit is still fresh. Great value.
Shows fragrant floral and green apple with a whiff of hazelnut on the nose. Pure apple flavour is delivered in a smooth, lightly creamy texture tempered by mineral, crisp acidity and citrus notes on the finish.
Fragrant white flowers and ripe yellow fruit scents lead the way for an appetizing array of apple, pear and citrus flavours with zesty acidity, gentle fizz, a lick of mineral and a judicious touch of residual sweetness on the finish.
Very pale. Distinctive, minerally nose with subtle notes of white fruits and citrus plus a hint of smoke. Balanced with noticeably mild acidity (for a Chablis) and a round, moderately fruity mid-palate. Clean finish. Drink or hold.
