“A great success”

"The 2020 vintage marked the completion of the estate's organic certification. The vines clearly wanted to reward the winemakers for their extra efforts. The wine is clean and straightforward on the nose. After a beautiful, full-bodied, and lively attack on the palate, the tannins are immediately fine and silky, supporting a soft, luscious texture that delicately coats the palate. The wine exudes a beautiful power without sacrificing harmony. A great success.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2023)

About the estate:

A vineyard overlooking Mont Brouilly, whose vineyards—certified organic since 2020—cover 28 hectares, with plots in Côte-de-Brouilly, Morgon, Régnié, Chiroubles, and Beaujolais-Villages. Jean-Paul Joncy settled there in 1979, and was later succeeded by his son Guillaume and daughter-in-law Sophie. Since 2018, they have also been selecting wines from the Beaujolais and Mâconnais regions from small family-run estates, their “winemaker friends.”

About the wine:

I am absolutely amazed by it! The black cherry aroma is both vibrant and deep, followed by a powerful, concentrated, and confidently dry palate, with an impressive tannic structure that will take some time to soften. However, the finish is already breathtaking. Enjoy it now, but it will be at its best starting in 2024.
