(9/22/2018) "Deeper and more serious, the 2017 Beaujolais-Villages Les Tours exhibits a plummy bouquet of deep red fruit, followed by a medium to full-bodied, concentrated palate with greater amplitude and dimension."

(2/22/2018) "Some very stony and flinty aromas with graphite. Red and dark plums, too. Smells fresh and very complex already. The palate has great density and a fine, compressed tannin texture, as well as a very focused finish. Spiced black cherries and blackberries, cassis and dark chocolate to close. Short carbonic maceration and juice is racked off during the carbonic process. A captivatingly powerful but focused Morgon. No Cote du Puy due to the hail in 2017. Best from 2020."

(9/22/2018) "Bursting with scents of cherries, plums and dried flowers, the 2017 Saint-Amour Clos du Chapitre is medium to full-bodied, ample and velvety, with a sweet core of fruit, melting tannins and a taut, stony finish. This is a new bottling for the Famille Dutraive label and comes warmly recommended."

Vinous, Josh Raynolds
(2/2018) "Vivid ruby. Aromas of fresh dark fruits, candied flowers and smoky minerals, along with an exotic Moroccan spice nuance in the background. Chewy and nicely concentrated, offering focused black raspberry, boysenberry and bitter cherry flavors that tighten up steadily on the back half. Shows very good energy and finishes spicy and very long; dusty tannins sneak in steadily to frame the lingering dark fruit. Drinking window: 2022 - 2028."

Familie Dutraive Chiroubles 2017
Familie Dutraive is the label of Jean-Louis Dutraive in collaboration with his children. The grapes are sourced from trusted growers. This bottling from the cru of Chiroubles is a real knock-out in a vintage where the crops were ravaged by hail. Only a few cases available and then it's gone for good!

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(3/2017) "The 2016 Gamay (Sonoma Coast) is superb. Bright, deep and fleshy, the 2016 makes a strong first impression with its super-expressive bright red-toned flavors. The 100% whole clusters add striking nuance throughout. The Pax Gamay is made from vines in Castelli-Knight Ranch, the first Gamay planted on the Sonoma Coast. It will be interesting to see how this wine develops in future vintages. The 2016 is hugely promising."

(8/2018) Made in collaboration with Domaine Landreon-Chartier in the Coteaux de la Loire, this single-vineyard Gamay was biodynamically farmed, hand-picked, and macerated for 10 days with native yeast without filtration or added sulphites and aged 9 months in amphorae. The result is a juicy and fruit-forward Gamay with a generous cherry and plum character with under a delicate layer of red flowers and spice. Ready to be thoroughly enjoyed from now until 2021.
