Product Description:

"The wine showed a beautiful bouquet of red fruits and spices and jumped out of the glass, the most generous nose so far of the young 2005 cru Beaujolais. I found the aroma to be quite seductive with a lot of subtlety, and Nicole, later on, on her own, remarked that she thought it did, too. She mentioned the subtlety of cherry blossoms. On a second taste of it after some older vintages, richer dark blackberries emerged with a dollop of sweet cinnamon spice. The palate was very rich and fruity, the fruit just exploded with a cornucopia of pit fruits and red berries. This fruitiness was perfectly balanced by minerality and spices on the finish. Showing the characteristic of the vintage, the wine was very round and fresh, showing no heaviness. The acidity was bright and refreshing and there was no aggressiveness to the long finish, which seemed to cleanse the palate with minerality. An absolute triumph in 2005 chez Chanrion!" - Importer
