Stunning nose of licorice and ripe (but not overripe) plum. Very elegant and silky, this has so much mineral intensity and such fine tannins. The freshness at the finish could wake the dead! Hard to imagine how a wine...

From vineyards just below the iconic windmill (moulin-à-vent), this is a powerfully structured and very ageworthy wine. Black fruits and rich tannins convey complexity. This wine will age well and should not be drunk...

Vivid ruby. Highly perfumed red and blue fruit and floral pastille aromas are sharpened by white pepper and smoky mineral nuances. Juicy and energetic in the mouth, offering intense boysenberry and raspberry preserve...

So ripe and so graceful, this is a staggering wine for 2021 that shows what was possible if you had old vines, you did everything right in the vineyard during the growing season, and then you hit the ideal harvest date...

It’s rare to taste gamay from Moulin-à-Vent and think of Volnay. And, as much as I would praise the beauty and grandeur of this wine, a pure extract of the earth, I wonder what that association with the Côte de Beaune is...

This majestic Moulin-a-Vent marries very ripe forest berry aromas with stunning salty minerality, and the enormous freshness makes it extremely vibrant and exciting. The very long, super-fine finish makes you wonder why...

Another notable success is the 2020 Fleurie Poncié, a medium to full-bodied, elegant and lively wine evocative of cherries, red berries and rose petals. Structurally refined and charming, it concludes with an expansive...

Brilliant violet color. Aromas of fresh red/blue fruits, candied flowers and smoky minerals pick up a spicy nuance with air. Taut and focused on the palate, offering appealingly sweet raspberry, boysenberry and spicecake...

Unwinding in the glass with aromas of rose petals, sweet red cherries, dried flowers and ripe strawberries, the 2018 Fleurie Poncié is medium to full-bodied, lively and enveloping, with a charming, fruit-driven profile...

Dense violet and sour-cherry nose with just a hint of licorice. Very fresh and vital with quite a serious tannins structure for a Beaujolais Cru, this is still very young with tremendous energy. Quite dry finish, but in a...

A wine with black fruits and immense structure, this comes from the iconic Côte du Py slope in Morgon. The wine is rich, packed with tannins as much as fruit. It will age, so don't drink before 2026. ROGER VOSS

Blended from three estate parcels at the center of the appellation, this wine includes fruit from Aux Caves vineyard, where 80-year-old vines add concentrated fruit to this wine. It has flavor intensity without weight...

The 2015 Moulin a Vent la Roche contains 40% whole bunch fruit and is aged in 30% new oak. It comes from 70-year-old vines cropped at 24 hectoliters per hectare. This is much more controlled and sophisticated on the nose...

Owned by Beaune producer Louis Jadot, this estate produces some fine wines. Ripe black fruits and layers of tannins show that this is still developing into a ripe, floral wine. The wine is full, packed with fruit and...

Notions of cherries, berry compote, sweet soil tones and smoke introduce the 2020 Morgon, a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy wine with lively acids, melting tannins and a saline finish. As usual, it's derived...

I love the way this sophisticated Moulin-a-Vent marries the bright red fruit you expect from Beaujolais with savory character and a warm, tannin base that enables it to turn the bright acidity of the gamay grape into a...

Elegantly textured, with glossy tannins encasing raspberry coulis and ripe cherry notes infused with black tea, orange zest, licorice and sleek mineral details. A serious wine that should age well. Drink now through 2030...

Partially aged in wood, this wine with rich tannins comes from a parcel on the slope below the windmill. Spice goes well with the generous black fruits and solid structure. With all this ripe fruit and texture, the wine...
