"A great success

"The 2020 vintage saw the culmination of the estate's organic certification. The vines were clearly eager to give back to the winemakers the extra effort they had put in. The wine is clean and frank on the nose. After a lovely, full and lively attack on the palate, the tannins are immediately fine and silky, supporting a soft, greedy texture that delicately coats the palate. The overall impression is one of power without sacrificing harmony. A great success". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2023)

About the wine:

The 2020 vintage saw the completion of the estate's organic certification. The vines were clearly eager to give back to the winemakers the extra effort they had put in. The wine is clean and straightforward on the nose. After a lovely, full and lively attack on the palate, the tannins are immediately fine and silky, supporting a tender, greedy texture that delicately coats the palate. The overall impression is one of power without sacrificing harmony. A great success.

About the domain :

An estate with a view of Mont Brouilly, its vineyards, which have been organic since 2020, cover 28 hectares, with parcels in Côte-de-Brouilly, Morgon, Régnié, Chiroubles and Beaujolais-Villages. Jean-Paul Joncy settled here in 1979, followed by his son Guillaume and daughter-in-law Sophie. Since 2018, they have also been selecting cuvées in the Beaujolais and Mâconnais regions from small family estates, known as "vignerons copains".

About the wine:

I'm certainly amazed! The black cherry nose is both bright and deep, then comes the imposing, concentrated and confidently dry palate, with an impressive tannic structure that will require a little time to soften. However, the finish is already breathtaking. Drink now, but best from 2024.
