Herbal and light, with cherry, strawberry and rhubarb flavors on a lithe frame. Still remarkably fresh.

Definitely a wine with structure. It has a dense core of dry tannins, which leave the impression of a concentrated wine. The fruit is only just there, demanding time for aging. That it should age well is indicated by the deliciously juicy finish.

Aged in wood, and bottled without filtration, this is a smooth, rich wine that has certainly benefited from the extra concentration of old vines. The flavors—red plums, licorice, black fig jelly—are given weight by dryness from wood and from tannins.

Rich, concentrated red and black plum flavor dominate a wine that shows structure as well as intensity. This is powerful stuff, a delicious wine, fruity but with a core of dark tannins. It is just edging into maturity, so drink this year. The name recalls the Counts of Souzy who once governed the region.

Fruity, candy floss aromas followed by strawberry jam flavors give this wine a fresh, lightweight character, easy to drink now. There are some tannins, giving weight, but this just reinforce the fruitiness.

For a 2007, considered a light vintage in Beaujolais, this has good structure, its red fruit flavors given intensity and concentration by firm black plum skin tannins. The aftertaste, though, is all juicy fruits, balanced by sweet acidity.

There are raspberry flavors, certainly, but raspberry with attitude, as this wine, with its firm tannins and open fruit, attests. The acidity and the dry edge point this wine firmly toward food.

A fruity, ripe, spicy, immediately attractive wine. It bursts with simple sweet fruit and soft tannins. Bold, juicy and ripe, drink soon.

This wine has an earthy edge to it, which gives it something more to offer than simple fruity flavors. The boisterous black cherry aromas combine with scents of damp clay. This light-bodied wine finishes with loads of red berries and a hint of licorice.

The largest of the Beaujolais crus makes relatively soft wine, and this is no exception. It has open fruit flavors dominated by red berries and tinged with acidity. The background is soft tannins and the foreground is all fruit.
