Notes: Gerbelle & Maurange: 16/20 (Highest Score for the AOC), Beaujolais Aujourd’hui: 2 Grapes
An evocative name for a naturally tender and elegant wine, opening with aromas of kirsch, spices, and reseda, as well as a delightful blend of red fruit aromas. “Here is a wine that will make you fall in love with the most romantic vintage on earth. Its sweet fruitiness caresses the tongue silkily.” (Guide to the Best Low-Priced Wines 2009 - Gerbelle & Maurange)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2014 guide) Selected (An estate or winery that impressed us with one or more of its wines, though we are unable to offer a general assessment of the style of its entire range)
About the estate:
"Christophe Coquard founded his own wine merchant in 2005. He offers a range of wines covering every appellation in Beaujolais, and more recently, the neighboring Mâconnais region. The labels are beautifully designed, and the prices remain reasonable. The company did not present its 2008 vintages as we had requested, but instead offered the 2009s, which have a more favorable reputation. In this vintage, several crus disappointed us, but the regional appellations were bursting with fruit.”
