Straw colour; on the nose, a petrol note, minerally, peach and citrus aromas; medium-bodied, fresh peach and floral flavours with bracing acidity.
Light straw in colour with a greenish tint; spicy, grassy, gooseberry and vanilla oak nose; medium-bodied, dry, elegant, beautifully balanced gooseberry and elderberry flavours with lively acidity. Lovely mouthfeel.
Fragrantly perfumed strawberry, cherry and a whiff of Burgundian earthiness lead the way for more focused cherry flavour in the mouth. Appetizingly dry, light tannic grip and good overall balance, and a light splash of milk chocolate on the finish.
Dark ruby, purplish rim. Blueberry and other black fruits, oak notes. Velvety on the palate with a grainy backbone, the acid sensation is somewhat reinforced by a touch of bitterness. Finish is firm.
This is Beaujolais the way it is supposed to be, loaded with gulpable dark cherry fruit and peppery spice. Lingering spicy sweetness is balanced by zesty acidity on the finish. Uncomplicated wine for hearty enjoyment.
From the less-fashionable Blaye region. Deep ruby colour with a nose of blackcurrants and cedar; medium-bodied, soft mouthfeel but firmly structured. Dry and surprisingly elegant for the price.
Reveals impressively perfumed Burgundian style with developed red fruits, refined floral and subtle spicy notes and a fleshy, earthy overtone. Quite developed on the palate with elegant fruit, typical Pommard tannic grip, firm mineral core and well-integrated, deftly oaked finish. Better with another 3+ years in the cellar.
