Jean-Claude Chanudet La Cuvée du Chat 2015

Bright ruby color with purple hue. Nose of spicy red berries, earth, light green notes and just a hint of funkyness. In fact, just enough for that type of wine as it is enjoyable at that level. On the palate the wine is chewy, frsh, juicy and really tasty. The flavors are about the same as on the nose. This is the type of wine that calls sip after sip until the glass (or bottle!) is empty. Very good+ (90)

Pierre-Marie Chermette Coeur de Vendanges Beaujolais 2014

Slightly purple ruby color, seems quite dark for a Beaujolais. Aromas of homemade strawberry jam, spices, earth all in a complex nose. Serious on the palate with fruits flavors, good amount of spices and a good acidity level. Finish with a touch of caramel. Feels like it is above its Beaujolais rank. Is it because it’s made of centennial vines? A fact is that I like it! Very good+ (90)
