Beaujolais Villages "Le Chapital"

(2020) The 2011 is still showing well. Starting to show hints of garnet on appearance, with a nose thats tertiary aroma driven by a mix of forest floor and dried red and black ruit aromas. Still with some remarkable acidity. It culimates in a long finish that wont leave you disappointed on an autumn/winters evening!

(October 2018, Flo): This wine is just delightful, although there are some indications of age this is just so vibrant and fresh. A pleasurable Beaujolais with notes of candied red fruits, supple tannins and a mineral finish. This wine fills the mouth with punchy yet refined blackberry, a beautiful wine

(September 2018, Flo): In my opinion, this wine could go toe to toe with some of the Beaujolais crus. The nose is delightful with notes of spun sugar and rosewood. On the palate, this is a delightfully fruity Gamay with a well-rounded body. Would highly recommend!

(Nov 2015, Joelle) After the big 2009 and 2011 it is really nice to taste a very good typical Beaujolais Villages from a more "normal" year. The nose is gorgeous and similar to the 2009 but lighter. In the mouth it is the same. Still lovely but lighter and more of the expected consistency of Beaujolais. It will stay fresh for longer.

WARNING! This is not like any Beaujolais Villages you will have tasted! Or will ever taste again (2009 exceptional vintage and Vincent has retired passing the baton to his nephew Jérôme after 2015 - grab the 2015 while you can).

2009 was a magnificent year and it still shines. A deep ruby color, nose of candied black fruits (blackberries, blackcurrants), mineral notes, mouth-filling with supple tannins, persistent fruity attack and a long mineral finish. 

Its quite remarkable and complex! It’s a great example of how Gamay can “PINOTER” become like Pinot Noir with age. It’s a riot of tertiary complexity, forest floor, meaty, leather, earth, fig and prune and evolves a layer of dried black fruits on the final finish. Stunning!
