Tasting notes
Marrans, Fleurie Les Marrans 2019
'From a five-hectare parcel around the domaine, the 2019 Fleurie Les Marrans is superb, mingling notes of raspberries, cherries and plums with hints of rose petals and orange rind in an inviting bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with fine depth at the core, succulent acids and a sensual, charming profile, it will offer a broad drinking window. Drink 2021-2029.' – William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 93/100
Paul Janin et Fils, Moulin-à-Vent Vignes du Tremblay 2019
'The 2019 Moulin-à-Vent Les Vignes du Trembley comes from 40- to 90-year-old vines and is aged in vat for 16 months. Dark berry fruit mixed with cedar and tobacco adorn the nose. The palate is balanced with quite saturated tannins, fine acidity, a smooth texture and attractive red cherry and orange zest flavors, plus a touch of allspice on the finish. Give this a year or two in bottle, because I am sure that will enhance the aromatics. Drink 2023-2032.' – Neal Martin, Vinous, 90/100
Grosse Pierre, Chiroubles La Grosse Pierre 2019
'A cuvée amounting to some 20,000 bottles produced from four hectares of the domaine's easterly exposed holdings, the 2019 Chiroubles La Grosse Pierre bursts with aromas of red berries, rose petals and spices. Medium-bodied, fine boned and lively, with powdery tannins and a vibrant core of fruit, it concludes with a saline finish. Drink 2021-2027.' – William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 92/100
Chaize, Côte de Brouilly Lieu-Dit Brûlhier 2019
'Unwinding in the glass with notes of plums, raspberries and spices, the 2019 Côte de Brouilly Brûlhier is medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with tangy acids, fine tannins and a long, delicately perfumed finish. Derived from a southeast facing site characterized by blue rock, this is the most youthfully reserved wine in the range but also the most promising for the long haul. Drink 2021-2033.' – William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 92/100
Thivin, Brouilly Reverdon 2019
'The 2019 Brouilly Reverdon is performing well, mingling aromas of cherries and berries with hints of spices and loamy soil in an appealing bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and succulent, with lively acids and fine tannins, it's classically proportioned and full of charm. Drink 2021-2029.' – William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 93/100
Nugues, Beaujolais Villages 2019
'Deep ruby colour, aromas of red fruits and fine spices with a beautiful length.' – Domaine des Nugues
