Wine:  Beaujolais Villages

The Burgaud 2010 Beaujolais-Villages les Vignes de Thulon offers a sappy, exuberant, and ultimately gripping profusion of ripe but tart-edged and prominently seedy blackberry. A mouthwatering salinity helps render this simple but pure and intensely-fruited recent bottling irresistible. Plan to enjoy it over the next couple of years.

Wine:  Morgon Cote de Py

Notes from the 2010 - WA 91-92 - Pre-assembled from all of the relevant barrels, Burgaud’s 2010 Morgon Cote de Py Reserve is, I must say – despite my objection to claims that Beaujolais ever “pinots” – strikingly Gevrey-like in its scents and bright juiciness of ripe dark cherry allied to smoked game and suffused with black tea and crushed stone. That noted, there is a particular fine-grained tannin feel and berry seed crunchiness that I do not associate with any Pinot Noir. Scents of peony as well as a suggestion of blackberry emerge with airing. This exhibits energy, grip, and refreshment, and should continue to perform on a high level for 4-6 years.
