Beaujolais Distance Runner - Top Vintage:
2017 Roilette Fleurie Griffe du Marquis

Roilette's Griffe du Marquis made its debut in the ripe 2009, and in its first release, it was a star of the vintage. In 2017, another ripe vintage, it's also a top wine.

1ha - Rare Lapierre:
2018 Lapierre Morgon Cuvée Camille

Ever since Camille's first vintage in 2013, it's a wine that we've bought every bottle available to us. There's something about how Camille combines deliciousness with a depth of complexity that made us immediate fans. It's a difficult wine to be a fan of -  it is sourced from a 1ha plot.

2018 Métras Fleurie VV Magnums

When we tally up the mind-bending bottles of Beaujolais that we've drunk, Métras looms very large. The examples are too numerous to list, but most recently, there was an expectation-defying bottle of 1996 Fleurie. Catching a bottle of Métras when it's on is simply a profound experience. Of course, the magnum format only makes it better.

The Pinnacle of Py: 2016 Foillard Morgon Cuvee 3,14

Jean Foillard is one of Beaujolais' greatest winemakers. And 3,14 is his magnum opus. The 3,14 bottling is only made in special years. Whenever a 3,14 is produced, it is one of the most exciting releases of the year. 

2018 Foillard Morgon Côte du Py Magnums

We'll keep this email short. Foillard is one of the legends of Beaujolais and magnums of his Côte du Py always sell out quickly.

Métras On Tip-Toe: 2018 Métras Beaujolais Fleurie Printemps

In recent years, Printemps has snuck up on us as one of the most fascinating wines of the lineup. Printemps has Métras' indescribable textural presence, with an added beautiful energy. It's the most dynamic wine of Métras' lineup. 

Subject Magical Morgon: 2018 Foillard Morgon Corcelette VV

Jean Foillard hardly needs an introduction. He is one of the legends of Beaujolais. Few producers can coax as much clarity, complexity, and textural beauty from a site as Foillard. It’s incredible that Foillard’s wines still represent some of the best values around.

2018 Métras Fleurie VV

When we tally up the mind-bending bottles of Beaujolais that we've drunk, Métras looms very large.

Killer Foillard Value: 2017 Foillard Morgon Classique

A New Foillard, A New Terroir
2017 Alex Foillard Brouilly

Alex Foillard, son of Beaujolais legend Jean Foillard, made the first wine under his label last year at twenty-five years old. Beaujolais fans immediately took notice.

When Métras' Cup Runneth Over
2018 Chapel Fleurie Charbonnières VV

In 2018, something happened that may never happen again. After a series of short vintages, and some devastatingly reduced yields, 2018 brought a relatively abundant harvest. This allowed legendary Beaujolais winemaker Yvon Métras to sell a small portion of his grapes from Charbonnières to Domaine Chapel.

On Lapierre and Hundred-Year-Old Vines:
2018 Lapierre Morgon Cuvée Marcel Lapierre

Lapierre's Morgon is one of the wine world's most beloved bottles. The cuvée Marcel Lapierre ups the ante considerably. The first vintage was around a decade ago and it wowed Beaujolais fans from the start.

Lapierre is one of the most iconic producers in Beaujolais. I’ll keep this brief.

Dutraive's North Star:
2018 Famille Dutraive Saint Amour Clos du Chapitre

Dutraive's wines are seductive in their clarity, soil-inflected depth and sheer joyful drinkability. Dutraive's wines started to be imported in 2009. The wines were so compelling that they became an overnight sensation. At this point, Dutraive is firmly situated as one of the region's most sought after and beloved producers.

Rare Sighting
2018 Lapierre Morgon Sans Soufre

Each summer, we offer Lapierre's Sans Soufre and it sells out in a flash. It's easy to understand. The sans soufre version is a rare sighting. More importantly, it takes the deliciousness of the sulphured version of Lapierre's Morgon to another level. 

Beaujolais and The Volcano - A Distance Runner:
2017 Château Thivin Côte du Brouilly Cuvée Zaccharie

Château Thivin's Cuvée Zaccharie is one of Beaujolais' unsung greats. Along with Bouland's Delys and Roilette's Tardive, Zaccherie is among the most structured expressions of Beaujolais. Zaccharie is a Beaujolais of truly uncommon earthy depth and layered complexity.

The Master of Morgon - Magnum Edition:

Rare Métras Magnums:
2017 Métras Moulin-à-Vent and Fleurie VV Magnums

Every year, we hunt down as much Métras as we can possibly find. When we tally everything up, there's always a pitiful amount of magnums. We're happy to offer our small parcel of 2017 Métras Magnums, Fleurie VV and Moulin-à-Vent.

Long-Haul Beaujolais, Magnum Edition:
2017 Roilette Fleurie Cuvée Tardive

Roilette's Cuvée Tardive is one of Beaujolais' longest lived and most profound wines. For us, magnums are essential.

Knockout Fleurie: 2017 Julien Sunier Fleurie

Julien Sunier has firmly established himself as one of Beaujolais' top young winemakers. Vintage after vintage, Sunier's Fleurie is the star of the line-up.

Don't Miss Lapierre: 2017 Lapierre Morgon

For us, there may be no producer in Beaujolais who succeeds in ripe vintages like Lapierre.

As much as we love Lapierre, there are certain vintages that we get especially excited about and advise that you go deep on. Along with 2009, 2014 and 2015, 2017 is one of these vintages.
