Gamay from France

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Foillard's just-released 2017 Morgon Côte du Py is a great success, unwinding in the glass with aromas of red fruit compote and cherries that are complemented with aeration by beautiful top notes of rose petal, blood...

View From The Cellar, 94 points: The 2015 Clos Vernay from Chantal and Frédéric Lafarge is quite a bit more red fruity in personality than the Bel Air, wafting from the glass in a lovely blend of cherries, raspberries, pigeon, stony soil tones, a nice...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2014 Morgon Côte de Py James underwent a 14-day maceration and is matured in exactly the same barrel formation as the Javernières, even bottled the same day. The only difference is that these vines are located towards...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2017 Moulin-à-Vent Les Trois Roches is superb—and likely the king of the cellar chez Chermette this year—wafting from the glass with a beautiful bouquet of raspberries, potpourri, orange rind and rose petal. On the...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2014 Morgon Côte de Py Javernières, which comes from the east side of the vineyard on more sedimentary soils, was bottled in mid-December after 12 months in 5-year-old 228- and 350-liter barrels. It has a lively...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Wow. Fabulous aromas of crushed blackberries as well as wet earth. Medium to full body, soft and round tannins and a savory finish. Fantastic. Most are Côte du Py grapes. Yes! Drink now.

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Stunning, concentrated black cherries and plenty of the characteristic acidity of the vintage, both seamlessly interwoven with the gentle tannins and the minerality through the very long, super clean finish. Exemplary use...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Rich aromas of poached strawberries and pastries, as well as pomegranate and blood oranges. Really fresh. The palate has a very plush and lively strawberry core. Raspberries, too. Juicy, sapid appeal. Drink now or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2017 Fleurie Poncié hails from a southeast-facing, higher-altitude site that’s typically quite cool, and that’s reflected in its bright, perfumed bouquet of raspberries, rose petals and Griotte cherries, with...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: What a Beaujolais beauty! Ripe and vibrant with a ravishing, silky texture on the palate, where the interplay of delicate cherries, mineral acidity and gentle tannins is spot on. What a long and refined finish! Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2017 Fleurie Garants is a warmer, southwest-facing site, and its bouquet is correspondingly richer and more sun-kissed than that of Chermette’s Poncié, exhibiting notes of ripe, plummy fruit, rich spices and subtle...
