A majestic wine, great Beaujolais by any standard. The fruit is tense, structured, dense, with black figs, strawberry jelly and ripe red plums fitting well into the texture. It manages to be both fruity and firmly structured. This is Beaujolais for aging, an impressive wine ready to mature over five years or more.

A wonderful confection of strawberry jelly and black plum juice, powered by firm tannins. There is acidity, but this wine—from one of the finest vineyard slopes in Beaujolais—is full of life as well as richness.

Desvignes is blessed with part of Javernières, at the heart of the Côte du Py, a schist and clay site exposed well to south and west. This wine is solid, tannic and structured, finely balanced. The acidity is important here, suggesting ageworthiness, while the fruits are still enjoying their ripe, black berry primary stage of development.

Big, bold and round, profiting from a good vintage and showing richness. It is certainly full-bodied, but there is a definite structure here, dark tannins over rich plums, delivering spice and a firm, almost stony texture from the soil.
