I started drinking Beaujolais several decades ago because it was cheap & farmers wine—true terroir, etc.. “Poor man’s Burgundy etc.. Lapierre Morgon was about 15-20$ then. Obviously times have changed as have prices. This all a wind up to when I find that aliveness again in Beaujolais, I perk up: here it is, in an aged, dark fruited Fleurie; the fruit is gorgeous, full, & dense; balanced acidity. From plots 60-90 yro, full on cassis & ribena. Aged Fleurie released late, & it’s wonderful. So for 32$- on sale around 26$-it’s a pretty, soulful creature. The reason why I got into Gamay. Plenty of sediment so decant. Savio Soares importer, who else? — 16 days ago

Stunning. Delicious. One of my fav wines of the last 1.5 years. Godello aged under flor that competes with white Burgundy/ Sonoma Coast chards that cost double. Sourced from two tiny plots of 80-100 yr old vines. 80% old foudre, 20% amphora under flor, no malo, no stirring. Sunny bouquet, honeycomb, Asian pear, gun flint, crushed stone, brisk, seamless, cool and classy. $55. — 2 years ago

After a lot of aeration, the wine gets less tannic, more fruity and complex. Yummie! — 3 months ago

This blew me away on the first sip - dark fruits, elegant, balanced, not too much oak, full-bodied and smooth, at $19 this is an amazing value. Excellent with cheese and chacuterie but could easily pair with a main (red meat) as well. — 5 months ago

90 M 10 CS
5.000 bottles produced from the two plots (one nxt to the church and the other in front of Lafleur Petrus).
Takes some coxing to open up on the nose. Fragrant and deep, nice body on the mouth. Strict and fine on the mouth covering a beautiful world that will be revealed with time.. 93+ — a year ago

Zingy lemon acidity...perhaps too much acidity for me. Not one of my favourite plots but still a good wine — 2 years ago

Amazing vintage for Ramonet. 2020 Ruchottes, one of the absolute best plots in the region, is simply stunning tonight, with incredible richness, density and texture. It’s powerful, focused and already particularly complex flaunting layers of lilies, citrus blossoms and signature Ramonet spearmint freshness. Finish just stays with you. So good! — 5 months ago

Blend of 83% Tempranillo, 9% Graciano, 6% Mazuelo (Cariñena) and 2% Garnacha, grapes and various plots fermented separately, aged for 20 months in American oak, then blended. Deep Ruby color with aromas of ripe black fruits and floral spice notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry and plum with notes of leather, vanilla and oaky notes. Fine tannins, long finish, lively acidity ending with fruit, sweet oak and spice. Nice! — 2 years ago
