Full carbonic style, this is a great value in a gulpable, balanced, bright, and fairly deep Bojo. So much pure cherry and berry fruit on the nose, underlain by some clean granitic stoney minerality. Still very youthful feeling in the mouth, with all the elements there but a little nervous and not quite relaxed. Give it 6 more months to unwind, but certainly very nice with food right now. — 6 months ago
This type of cru Beaujolais is what I love about this region, and the excellent QPR. On the nose, beautiful aromatics of rose petals and boysenberries, in the mouth cracked black pepper, rose hips, berries. High acid. Long finish. Light and yet mouth filling. Quite excellent. — 6 years ago
I love good Beaujolais! This is absolutely spectacular! I also love wine from many regions in France, especially Saint Emillion, de Bourg and especially Bordeaux and others. But this is unbelievable! — 3 years ago
A perfect Chiroubles which honors the appellation. Light, airy, sensual, feminine Beaujolais. Red fruits fragrances deciliously intoxicating but without prominence. Multiple vegetal / floral nuances. The finish is discreetly persistent with very delicate tannins.
Un Chiroubles parfait qui fait honneur à l’appellation. Beaujolais féminin, sensuel, léger et aérien. Fragrances de fruit rouges délicieusement enivrantes mais sans proéminence, avec multiples nuances végétales/florales. La finale est discrètement persistante sur des tanins d’une grande délicatesse. — 6 years ago

Nose: tomato vine.
Palate: vegetal and cherries.
Needs an hour decant. The it’s quite elegant. So fresh. Aromatic. More burgundy than bojo pink roses in the nose. — a year ago
Robust flavors, with a clean finish - no lingering flavors. Best enjoyed with dark chocolate, which really brings out the cherry flavors. Chocolate with caramel makes it more tart, and chocolate with almonds make it taste like a pastry. — 6 years ago
