You can’t get much fresher and lightly fruitier than this crisp wine. It is just touched by caramel, with raspberry fruits and fleeting acidity.

With all the raspberry and strawberry juice flavors of Gamay, this is a light wine from a light vintage. It remains fresh. There is some tannic structure, but it needs to be drunk soon.

Made by Beaujolais producer Gilles Gelin, this sweet rosé is full of ripe, crushed strawberries, a touch of caramel and a rosehip aftertaste. More acidity would be welcome, but it works well as an apéritif.

This is a fine example of how well some Beaujolais can age. The fruit is fading but it has been replaced by a wine with fine maturity, rich, concentrated, showing sweet tannins over still-fresh acidity. There is just a hint of wood aging to underline the richness of the wine.

On the dark side, this wine is layered with tannins, that cut firmly through the red plum juice flavors. That gives it a dry character, which is certainly more powerful than the fruit. At the end, the freshness is there, a fine burst of acidity and vibrant red fruits.

Good tannins here, with fresh fruit, red cherry skins and acidity that is just so thirst-quenching. This is proper, easy, fruity Beaujolais, a pleasure to drink.

A supremely ripe wine, the fruit fitting well into the structure, which shows the perfumed, enticing character of Gamay. Flavors of red plums mingle with the lightest touch of tannins, the full-bodied character of the wine just edged with fresh acidity. As its name suggests, if you want to taste Gamay, this wine says it all.

Very fruity, the red berry fruits are all round this juicy wine. It does have tannins, and they are about to assert themselves as the wine passes from its purely primary fruit phase. Then expect the wine to get richer, more concentrated, possibly worth aging for 3-4 years.

Firmly dry, this wine shows light red plum fruits, with touches of red currant. It is fruity, although maybe showing signs of maturing. The acidity, though, remains fresh and leaves a fine, crisp aftertaste.

This is developing well, a wine from a fine year in Beaujolais. The fruit remains, with black plums, black berries and a light bubble gum freshness. But it has gained depth, and tannins are showing well over the acidity.
