This is an interesting wine to be sure, but not meant for
everyone. A beautiful deep ruby in color, this wine opens up with aromas dark
fruit, smoke, violet, light licorice with strong, stoney, minerality notes . On
the palate, medium bodied (even with a low alcohol of 12.5%), odd flavours and
very concentrated, balance acidity and dusty tannins. This Beaujolais finish is
long with flavours of crushed stone (you can almost taste the granite which
these vines grows in) , slightly bitter fruit and those same dusty tannins
lingering. Not what one might expect from a Beaujolais (light, easy drinking,
fruity with light tannins) even for a Cru Beaujolais. This wine would be better
enjoyed with food and a few years in bottle. Score 88 points.
