La Fontaine A Beaujolais

"Cuvée Corcelette" Morgon Gamay 2019

No real notes, sharing this with my friend who came over from france and who, incidentally, lives in lyon, next-door to beaujolais. Cherry, cherry liqueur, earth, hay, violet, this is pinotesque with some more fruit. The palate shows acid drive, cherry, cherry cola, some width, some matter, some tannins in the rear. The cherry,.cherry liqueur and violet finish lasts for a very long while. This is superb and could probably last for another 10 15 years. — 5 days ago

I love this wine and it does age really, really well. 15 years easy.

A light Beaujolais with bright fruit. April 2025. — 22 days ago

Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2023

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course two hours. The 2023 Morgon (S) pours a brilliant ruby/purple color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart red fruits: strawberry, raspberry, cherry, a touch of bubblegum, red flowers, licorice, black pepper, a mix of cool spices and rocky minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. This is a more dense expression of Lapierre’s Morgon which isn’t a surprise considering the vintage. Quite lovely with chicken pâté. Drink now through 2037. — 2 months ago

Classic combi 😍

Clos De La Roilette

Clos de la Roilette Griffe du Marquis Fleurie Gamay 2012

Proof that Cru Beauj can age. This bottle was better than the last one. Brighter ruby color, fresher red berry fruit, light tannins and good acidity . Best wine of the night in a killer lineup. — 4 days ago

Domaine Dupeuble

Beaujolais Gamay 2023

Far more than a basic Beaujolais. Seriously structured 2023 with good helpings of fruit, and acidity plus a tad of dusty, mouth coating tannins at the finish. Helluva buy at under $20. — a month ago

Brouilly Gamay 2021

Very tart, lip - smacking cherry juice. Would be lovely on the deck on a warm summer evening. Alas, it’s 25 and snowing, but nice nonetheless. Takes a little of the chill out of winter. — 4 months ago

Happy Easter!

PnP. Earthy, rustic, strawberries, and plums on the nose and palate. Best bottle I’ve had of this since Paris over a decade ago! Paired lovely with ham, sweet potatoes, and brussel sprouts.

Love that wine.

Côte du Py Morgon Gamay 2022

Finally got to drink one of the famous #morgon producers. Sappy red fruit, touch of enticing funk, purple floral notes and some sous bois aromas. Lushly textured on palate, iron, lofty acidity. Sure it’s a bit young but had to seize the day on this occasion. #foillardftw — 2 months ago
