Older vines and lower yields this is a seriously good Nouveau where the bright red fruits are not masked by carbonic maceration. Made by a true craftsman. Voted best joint 1st best Beaujolais Nouveau by the growers in 2019!
You like simple, bright, crunchy red wines that can be lightly chilled

Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Tasted by Anne McHale MW in May 2020 for an event with 67 Pall Mall, her assessment was as follows: "More concentrated and vibrant than the average Beaujolais Nouveau. No carbonic maceration notes of bubblegum and banana, instead its fresh crunchy red fruit led by raspberries. It's delicious!"
Vintage 2019
from Burgundy Report November 2019 "Medium colour. A modest volume of aroma, but deep and attractively floral too. A fine grain of tannin supports a wine of fresh attack but depth of fruit to balance. A good big mouthful of fine Beaujolais here."
My take: There's quite a bit of violet for us, with juicy red fruit and a nice touch of minerality. Very moreish and easy drinking.
