Fleurie, Les Hauts du Py 2018

Fleurie, Les Hauts du Py 2018

Score : 95/100

"For the super-ripe vintage this Fleurie has wonderful freshness as well as impressive concentration. Wonderful purity of sour cherry fruit! Extremely long finish that’s beautifully supported by fine-grained tannins and brimming with crushed rock character. Only just coming to its youthful peak, with excellent aging potential. Drink or hold."

Fleurie, Les Moriers 2018

Fleurie, Les Moriers 2018

Score : 93/100

"This has excellent tension and vitality for a Beaujolais Cru of this very warm vintage. I like the bright sour cherry and forest berry aromas every bit as much as the touch of citrusy freshness on the focused and elegant palate. Long crisp finish in which fine tannins and stony minerality are married. Drink or hold."

Beaujolais-Villages, Le Blanc du Château de Poncié 2021

Beaujolais-Villages, Le Blanc du Château de Poncié 2021

Score : 92/100

"What a beautiful nose of ripe pear and white flowers this excellent chardonnay from the heart of Beaujolais has! And the touch of toasty oak really adds complexity to this elegant, medium-bodied wine. Long finish with plenty of white flower character. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

Côte de Brouilly, Le Pavé 2021

Côte de Brouilly, Le Pavé 2021

Score : 91/100

Brimming with violet and black cherry aromas, this is both bright and well-balanced with a satisfying combination of supple tannins, juicy fruit and lively acidity on the palate. Some stony complexity at the long, moderately dry finish. Drink or hold.

Fleurie, 949 2018

Fleurie, 949 2018

Score : 91/100

"Although this is not as rich or weighty as many 2018s it has full-throttle ripe blackberry and plum aromas. This is not enormously complex, but the harmony is very satisfying with the lively acidity lifting the medium- to full-bodied palate and the supple tannins now fully resolved. Plenty of cinammon and allspice at the long finish. Drink now."
