Karim Vionnet Vin de Kav Chiroubles 2014

Being neighbor with Morgon stars Lapierre, Foillard and Breton, it must be inspiring to be around them! Since he also worked with Guy Breton, his experience did help when he started making his own wines back in 2006. No addition of yeast, sugar, sulfur of other “ingredients”. His wine are made in the most natural way possible!

Here is my tasting note on his Chiroubles:

Cherry red color. Typical fruity nose of Gamay wines with explosive red berries, earth and spices with just a hint of funkiness. Pure red fruit expression on the palate with crushed rocks and a finish with black pepper notes. Highly enjoyable and thirst quencher, this is a great Beaujolaiswine! Very good (89)

Made of Gamay. Natural winemaking. Aged 9 months in oak barrels. Alcohol level of 12%

Available in private import with: oenopole.ca

Jean Foillard Morgon Cuvée Corcelette 2014 

Clear and foggy ruby color. Very “barny” at bottle opening, it did disapeared with some air, thankfully!. Then came the berry notes with spices, earth, inviting and fresh. Flavors of red berries, earth, flowers, there is acidity but also a texture to the wine. It’s tasty and long. This is again a good wine from Foillard, but still youn and reserved with, for my taste, too much barnyard for now. A few years of cellaring shall take care of that! Very good + (90)

Dark ruby color. Nose of red berries, flowers, smooth spices, then earth and tobacco. Explosive sweet red fruits on the palate with cranberries, dried flowers, spices, it’s intense, chewy, there is acidity, lenght and so enjoyable. When Gamay grapes are shaking you, it’s because it’s that type of wine! Excellent (91)

Made of Gamay planted on granit soils. Natural winemaking, no sulfur added. Aged in large oak barrels. Alcohol level of 13%
