91 Points | International Wine Cellar , June 2011
Bright dark red. Spicy red berries, cherry, rose petal and sandalwood on the nose and palate. Juicy, suave and penetrating, with a lovely restrained sweetness in the context of the very ripe 2009 vintage. A firm acid/tannin spine gives this Beaujolais cru terrific inner-mouth energy and lift. The slowly building finish offers excellent cut.

typical beaujolais

i like and am continually surprised by beaujolais; its rep in US is that it is over-hyped and weak
But, if you accept it for what it is, can be terrific - this is one such fortunately; not much on the nose, not long on the finish, but yummy, good with food, very nice for the price; will not last; this is just what it should be - it is not a 100 point big rich cabernet but if you want a nice, grape-y food friendly wine that is good while young, and easy on the pocketbook, this is it
Great

Delicious. Not usually the biggest gamay fan, but this could convert me.

Highly touted vintage. Plan to cellar some to see if it's up to the hype.

Delicious wine very well received at our host's brunch of smoked salmon, crudities, and bagels.

just adjusting with respect to my other ratings. 3* is good wine, but not exceptional IMHO. Beaujolais need earthy complexity added to fruityness to become exceptional.

Was expecting more; light finish and minimal nose
Acidity on back of tongue

I loved the fruit on the nose and smooth on the front of the tongue. I had a friend taste as well and she enjoyed this wine and she's not a fan of red wines. I rated it a 3 because the acidity on the back of the tongue was a bit too much for me. Certainly a good wine but I'm glad I only purchased 6 bottles.
