Château Thivin Beaujolais Côte de Brouilly 'Les Clos' 2023

"This comes from an ancient walled site adjacent to the Thivin manor house about mid-slope of Mt Brouilly.. It was once a Clos, but now most of the rock wall is gone and in parts ther are fences to keep in the minature sheep. There is a somewhat pinot style raspberry in the fruit mix, long fine and elegant" Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

An assemblage of seven Thivin parcels - fruit from the plots of; La Chapelle, Clos Bertrand, Brulhies, Utopia, L'Heronde, Henri and Les Fournelles.

Chateau Thivin Beaujolais Cote de Brouilly Cuvee La Chapelle 2023

"...Abundant red berry and dark cherry fruit and rose, lilac florals too. The rich palate is a plush feast of fruit and minerality. La Chapelle sits at 450 metres with a steep 50% south-facing slope, its rocky, metamorphic soils imparting a distinctive mineral character." Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Daniel Bouland Beaujolais Morgon 'Corcelette' Vieilles Vignes Sable 2022 Magnum

One of three site-specific wines from Corcelette, this cuvée is drawn from old vines on granitic sand soils (sable means sand). The vines were planted in 1926, so it's truly a Vieilles Vignes cuvée. It is the sister wine, if you like, to the Cailloux (rocky) cuvée. Unsurprisingly, Bouland's gnarled old trunks have over-delivered again. Raised in an old foudre, it's a layered, inky, mouthcoating Morgon of wonderful finesse, finishing with intense mineral character and a nip of old vine … more

Daniel Bouland Beaujolais Morgon 'Délys' 2022 Magnum

The lieu-dit Les Délys is part of the Corcelette climat located downslope from Bellevue and right behind Bouland's residence and winery-it's his back garden if you like. Again, Bouland splits his vines into two cuvées: an old-vine cuvée raised in foudre and this younger-vine version raised in concrete. The vines were planted in 1978 and 1980 in the deep granitic sand typical of Les Délys, which brings roundness and Burgundy-like texture to the wines. It's the most detailed and refined … more

Domaine Chignard Beaujolais Fleurie Les Moriers Non Filtré 2022

This "Non Filtré" is an unfiltered version that is bottled just for Australia and US.

"This is not simply a Fleurie, it is Fleurie "Les Moriers," and les Moriers is a steep vineyard that penetrates down into the Moulin-à-Vent zone. The result is like a marriage of the two. That explosive, floral Fleurie character emerges from an intense, regal, tannic, Moulin-à-Vent chassis. It is loaded with flavour and has an intense palate feel." - Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant

Domaine Chignard Juliénas Beauvernay 2022

This year we again have access to a little wine which comes from 1 hectare of vines inherited from his uncle. The vineyard faces 'plein sud' or directly south giving it excellent exposition to the ripening sun. The soil here is different to the pink granite of Fleurie; here we are on blue 'diorite' which is another type of igneous rock. The wine is very pretty, a gorgeous cherry colour and leads into charming aromas of strawberries, cherries and rocks. … more

Domaine Mee Godard Morgon Corcelette 2022

Domaine Mee Godard allows us a glimpse of the future of the Beaujolais region at its best. It's a small Domaine of six hectares of vineyards, mostly located in the sumptuous Morgon. The uncompromising attitude established by Mee, coupled with very old vines across the estate (60 years of age on average) produces state of the art, profound, complex wines with lots of character. The "Corcelette" vineyard is located at the Northwestern end of Morgon with sandy and granitic soils.

Jean Foillard Beaujolais Morgon 'Côte du Py' 2023

"Thankfully Jean Foillard doesn't live in Burgundy. I say that because if he transported his vineyard holdings, metier and extraordinary talent to the Côte de Nuits then there is no chance that you would be reading about him in these pages. His wine would be as exclusive and expensive as Domaine Leroy or Georges Roumier. It is only because Beaujolais has been much maligned by the 'nouveau' phenomenon, poor quality marketing and oceans of basic quality wines that the regions … more

Pierre-Marie Chermette Beaujolais Les Griottes 2023 375ml

Stelvin.

Les Griottes means "small cherries"; exactly the kind of fruit character that you will find in spades in this juicy wine. Produced from 15-35 year old vines grown on dark granite soil in Saint Vérand area (of Southern Beaujolais), here we have yet another convivial, lip-smacking, ultra pure stunner from this benchmark grower that La Revue du Vin de France recently described as "...a reference for 30 years." On the palate you find the juicy texture, supple fruit and … more
