Tasting note
Beaujolais isn't all fruit and fluff. While less vibrant in the fruit department compared to the 2012, it shows a slightly richer texture. Same great mineral component as if strawberries and raspberries were growing out of a piece of granite. Some decent tannin as well. Tasted July 2014. Score - 3 Stars (out of 5). (Bill Zacharkiw, winealign.com, July 6, 2014)
This dry, medium-bodied and fruity red displays a simple and intense nose. On the palate, its refreshing acidity, fleshy tannins, and broad texture precede a medium finish.
As featured in Taste Magazine, Spring 2013. From the village of Brouilly in Burgundy, this Gamay is light-bodied with bright juicy berries, cherries and plums and subtle notes of clove, chalk, dark chocolate and black pepper. Silky smooth, complex and balanced, it over delivers for the price.
