"Intense dark ruby with a heady nose of rose essence. The juice is extremely dense with broad tannins. A racy vintage at an exceptional price" (Le Guide des bonnes affaires du vin 2015 - RVF Gerbelle & Maurange). A very fresh wine with a pleasant nose and a lovely fruity expression of raspberry and strawberry. Excellent value for money!

A fine beaujolais village, well in place for the price, I open this bottle with small dishes when I can't find a "perfect" match, and it usually works ... that's the magic of gamay!

2nd bottle opened and still disappointed by the lack of personality (not very fruity, no length). Too bad
