Tasting

by Véronique Boss-Drouhin

Good structure, recalling the profile of some of the great wines of the Côte d'Or. Deep garnet colour; powerful aromas of cherry and will berries. Fleshy on the palate. A lot of character.

Vintage

2022 provided Beaujolais wines with a wide variety of profiles: full-bodied and structured wines with a deep colour, typical wines for cellaring, but also fleshy wines pleasant to drink.

Vintage review
