* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Nutty, toasty aromas open a wine that has yellow fruits, strong ripe peach flavors, some green plum acidity. The texture brings out the toast, flavored with toffee, the aftertaste full of creamy acidity.

While the aromas and flavors offer similar notes of underripe peaches and pencilly oak, the finish turns tart and grapefruity. It's pleasant enough, just a bit austere on its own; lean fish with a citrus preparation could help soften it.

Shows some attractive notes of cranberries and leather along with hints of chocolate and toast, but this wine is lean and just too astringent to think it will ever be hugely pleasurable. Drink now with rich dishes before the fruit fades.

This exuberant wine boasts loads of ripe red cherries, but they’re held in check by layers of dry, cedary oak. Acquires some dark chocolate overtones on the finish, which seem to limit the fruit further.

A big, forceful wine, packed with oversized cherry and vanilla flavors. Herb and smoke aromas add complexity, delicately framing the powerful fruit. Finishes long and softly tannic. Drink 2005–2015.

Lavishly oaked, with toast and smoke dominating hints of peaches and vanilla on the nose. Turns lemony on the palate, which is big and bulky, yet very tart and smoky on the finish. Young and disjointed right now.

Delicate aromas of cherries, toast and velvety tannins are appealing, but this wine seems to lack depth, richness and complexity. Finishes with notes of cranberries and cocoa powder.

With nearly 200 acres of vines, this is one of the largest Beaujolais estates. This Brouilly is ripe, raspberry-flavored, with fine sweet fruits and a tight core of tannin. The essential acidity is well balanced.

Shows plenty of bright raspberry fruit on the nose, but seems a bit sinewy and tannic in the mouth. The aromas are pretty and there is some spicy red fruit on the palate, but this wine could use a little more flesh to balance its toughness.

Light and lacking intensity, with sappy cherry fruit and green herbs. Finishes tart.
