Beaujolais Cru beauty: Piron & Lameloise Moulin-à-Vent 2017
Brought this bottle to a tasting with friends, and everybody loved it. I’m not always as successful with Beaujolais Cru but this time it really shined. It reminds me to the 2019 Coudert Fleurie Clos de la Roilette, by the way. Continue reading
Supermarket wines – Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau 2022
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
