Supermarket wines – Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau 2022

Image ~ December 28, 2022 ~ Zoltán Németi

The 2020 vintage of the the Georges Duboeuf Beajolais Nouveau was on top of the game, close to the very best nouveaus I have ever tasted. But the 2022 edition is a disappointment. Continue reading →

Nouveau time: Vylyan Bogyólé 2020

Image ~ December 11, 2022 ~ Zoltán Németi
The most well-known Hungarian nouveau style red. I cannot remember a poor release, and the 2022 again delivers.

Another great Beaujolais Cru from Dom. Richard Rottiers – Moulin á Vent 2021

The Brouilly 2019 last time was not my favourite wine from Richard Rottiers, but the current Moulin-á-Vent (2021) is again outstanding, the kind of wine which makes me a fan and follower of this top Beaujolais producer.

Solid Beaujolais Nouveau – Pierre-Marie Chermette Griottes 2021

Image ~ December 30, 2021 ~ Zoltán Németi

I have been buying Pierre-Marie Chermette’s Griottes every year since 2015. Partly because it’s one of the very few Beaujolais Nouveau available in Hungary but also because it’s quite reliable and simply delicious. Continue reading →

Top Beaujolais Cru: Clos De La Roilette Fleurie delivers again

Image ~ October 20, 2021 ~ Zoltán Németi

I could only repeat what I said about the 2017: the Clos de la Roilette is a benchmark for Beaujolais Cru. This 2020 is a rockstar. Continue reading →

A beauty: Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette 2017

Image ~ July 31, 2021July 31, 2021 ~ Zoltán Németi
Daniel Bouland is one of the top names in Beaujolais, and rightly so I would say. I tasted his 2017 Morgon Corcelette next to Dorli Muhr’s  Samt & Seide Blaufrankisch 2017, and while the Austrian is really very good, the gamay is just a more complex wine.

Richard Rottiers Brouilly 2019

Image ~ June 6, 2021 ~ Zoltán Németi

A Brouilly from one of my favorite Beaujolais producers, Richard Rottiers. This is new to me, I only remember tasting Moulin-á-Vents from him, which I found superior to this one… Continue reading →

Fine Beaujolais Nouveau: Jean-Baptiste Duperray, Vieilles Vignes 2020

Image ~ December 10, 2020December 10, 2020 ~ Zoltán Németi

It’s titled Vieilles Vignes (old vines), but just like other similarly priced (around the 8€ mark) and well made Nouveaus, it’s easily up to most Beaujolais Crus in quality. Just like others I have been buying in recent years.

Give me more – great value Beaujolais Cru, Domaine des Brulets Brouilly 2019

Image ~ November 27, 2020 ~ Zoltán Németi
Beaujolais Cru is one of my all time favorites in red wine, there is just nothing like it. And it is often so cheap, as in this case.

A cheerful one – Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau 2020

Image ~ November 25, 2020November 27, 2020 ~ Zoltán Németi

Big producer doesn’t mean bad wine. This Nouveau from the giant of Beaujolais is as good as the artisanal ones I used to try.
