The color is between ruby and light garnet. Expressive nose of small berries, earth, sweet spices and that natural wine but balanced twist. Had some fizz at bottle opening, but disappeared quickly to offer pure goodness and litterally quench our thirst as it drinks so well. It had fruit, it’s fun to drink and yes, we do want more (J’en Veux Encore)! Very good+ (90) 

Made of old Gamay vines from Beaujolais and Jura old grape varieties. Natural winemaking, no fining or sulfur added. Aged 10 months. Alcohol level of 12%

Was sold at the SAQ for 36,75$, but sold completly quite fast… (Code SAQ : 12884190)

See trough light and foggy ruby color. On the nose there’s no doubt that this is a natural wine! Typical aromas completed by cherries, earth and spices notes. Medium open for now with its natural side leading. Fruit loaded on the palate, but still restrained as it feels like it’s not in place for now and still needs time to become the beauty the wine is trying to show. This doesn’t affect its drinkability and sip goes after sip quite easily and the acidity brings freshness to it. Should be layed down in the cellar for some time (1-2 years) to let it come around. Very good (89)

Rubis brillant et pétant de jeunesse. Arômes de petits fruits rouges, c’est ensoleillé, invitant avec un côté nature en arrière-plan, mais présent. Il y a un peu de bulles au départ en bouche, mais ça ne dure pas. Puis c’est la pureté et la simplicité du Gamay dans sa plus simple expression, celle qui porte le sourire aux lèvres! Il y a tellement de notes de fruits, framboises, cerises, fraises, c’est gourmand et le vin coule tout seul. Si je peux lui apporter un aspect négatif, ce serait cette trop grande buvabilité, surtout pour le prix. Mais bon, j’ai eu beaucoup de plaisir avec ce vin, possiblement le meilleur vin nature bu à ce jour… Je vais en boire à nouveau, c’est certain. Excellent (91)

Foggy ruby color with purple hue. Nose of berries, earth and spices with that little “funky” natural wine typical twist. As it is often the case, it’s on the palate that I like natural wine the most on the palate, and that’s exactly what’s happening now! High drinkability with red berry flavors, earth, spices and a good acidity, clearly my type of wine. May be a little expensive, but so tasty. Very good (89)

Deep gold color for a wine that young. Aromas where honey, melon and ripe pears goes along with earth, mushrooms and flowers. Bright on the palate with good acidity and flavors of honey, green melon, Bosc pear and a hint of spices. Rich but balanced, I would pair this wine with a melting brie cheese topped with cranberries and nuts or bites of prosciutto wrapped cantaloupe. Very good (89)
