Among the red French wines classified as Burgundy, we usually think of them as being made only from Pinot Noir. However, there is a technically a Burgundy wine made solely from the red grape varietal called Gamay. Gamay, or as it is known locally in “Gamay Noir à Jus Blanc”, accounts for about 98 percent of Beaujolais wine production.
The Beaujolais wine region is a French “appellation d'origine controlee” (or AOC) located in eastern France just north of the city of Lyon. There are ten areas known as “crus” in the region where the best Beaujolais wines are produced. They are named in alphabetical order: Brouilly, Chénas, Chiroubles, Cote de Brouilly, Fleurie, Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin à Vent, Régnié and Saint Amour.
The two larger main regional appellations, called simply Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages, account for most of the Beaujolais wine production of the region. Up to one-third of the product made in these two appellations is sold as Beaujolais Nouveau wine which is released to the public on the third Thursday in November every year as the first wine of the vintage.
White wines produced in Beaujolais are called “Beaujolais Blanc” and are usually made from the Chardonnay grape. In rare instances rosé wine is also produced from Gamay grapes.
RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th May 2020 Inviting aromas of black cherries, blueberries and licorice introduce the 2019 Beaujolais-Villages Le Perréon, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy wine with a deep core of succulent fruit framed by powdery tannins and lively acids. As usual, this flavorful, beautifully made red from the Bererd brothers belongs on any short list of France’s best-value bistrot wines.
VN8989 pts. - Vinous - Aug 2021 Saturated violet. Lively and focused on the nose, displaying fresh red and blue fruit scents sharpened by a peppery nuance. Juicy and lithe on the palate, offering tangy red currant and bitter cherry flavors; an earthy licorice note builds on the back half. Subtly gripping tannins firm a nicely persistent finish that echoes the peppery quality.
Vingnes plantées en 1926 2018 / 750 ml. | Item#52700
RP94+94+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th May 2020 Revisited from my own cellar, the 2018 Morgon Les Delys Vieilles Vignes de 1926 is open and demonstrative, bursting with aromas of ripe blackberries and cherries, with only hints of the savory nuances to come with age. Full-bodied, ample and enveloping, it’s fleshy and textural, with a deep and layered core, ripe but lively acids and velvety tannins. Right now — indeed, more so than a year ago — the wine is dominated by its youthfully primary puppy fat, but I continue to feel that its fruit-driven profile is deceptive and that it will really reward more bottle age.

RP9595 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th May 2020 The 2019 Morgon Les Delys Vignes plantées en 1926 has turned out brilliantly, wafting from the glass with aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, strawberries, sweet soil tones and spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it’s seamless and multidimensional, and with striking concentration, succulent acids and powdery tannins, it’s long and penetrating. While this is carrying less puppy fat than the 2018 at the same age, it’s still quite a demonstrative, fruit-driven vintage of Les Delys, and while it will be long-lived, it can also be approached young.VN9595 pts. - Vinous - Aug 2021 Vivid, bright-rimmed ruby. Finely detailed red and blue fruit, floral oil, incense and spicebox qualities on the highly perfumed nose, along with cola and smoky mineral notes. Juicy and precise, offering palate-staining raspberry, boysenberry, bitter cherry and candied rose flavors that convey a wonderful marriage of depth and vibrancy. Finishes extremely long, minerally and subtly chewy, with polished tannins framing lingering cherry, floral and spice notes. In the context of high-end Beaujolais, this one sits right up there, and it delivers amazing value.
RP9494 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Aug 2019 From vines planted in sand — which is now indicated on the label — in 1927, Bouland’s 2018 Morgon Corcelette Vieilles Vignes Sable unfurls in the glass with notions of ripe plums, red cherries, smokes meats, violets and black pepper. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, ample and multidimensional, with a broad attack, considerable depth and dimension at the core, juicy acids and a long, intense finish. Powerful and concentrated but framed by velvety tannins, this brilliant Morgon is the antithesis of facile, ephemeral Beaujolais nouveau!
VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Oct 2019 Deep, bright-rimmed magenta. An assertively perfumed bouquet evokes fresh red/blue fruits, incense and candied lavender. Smoky mineral and spice overtones build in the glass. Stains the palate with appealingly sweet black raspberry, boysenberry and floral pastille that show very good depth and a firming spine of juicy acidity. Fine-grained tannins lend grip to lingering blue fruit and floral notes on the impressively long finish.RP91+91+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th May 2020 The 2018 Morgon Vieilles Vignes has turned out nicely, wafting from the glass with aromas of cherries, wild berries, peonies and subtle soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and supple, it’s bright and lively, with refined tannins, racy acids and fine depth at the core. This should develop nicely in bottle.
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Aug 2019 Aromas of rose petals, raspberries, cherries and licorice introduce the 2018 Morgon Grands Cras, another superb wine from Burgaud that’s medium to full-bodied, layered and enveloping, with a fleshy core, ripe acids and a long finish. If anything, this is even more charming than Les Charmes this year. They make a formidable — and keenly-priced — duo that readers will enjoy comparing.
VN9393 pts. - Vinous - Oct 2019 Brilliant violet color. A suave, mineral-accented bouquet evokes ripe red/blue fruits and candied flowers and a spicy nuance builds in the glass. Bright, seamless and appealingly sweet, offering concentrated yet lively raspberry and boysenberry flavors that firm up slowly with aeration. Ripe but graceful in style, finishing gently tannic and impressively long, leaving a sexy lavender pastille note behind.
VN9393 pts. - Vinous - Oct 2019 Shimmering, youthful purple. Mineral-accented cherry and black raspberry aromas are underscored by a spicy element that builds as the wine opens up. Sappy and focused on the palate, offering appealingly sweet dark berry and spicecake flavors along with complicating suggestions of licorice and candied violet. The spice and floral notes build steadily through an impressively long, smooth finish, which is framed by harmonious tannins that fold slowly into the wine’s intense fruit. Many of these vines are over a century old now.RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Aug 2019 Aromas of cherries, raspberries, fresh herbs and licorice introduce the 2018 Régnié, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and elegant wine that’s open-knit and charming, with melting tannins and succulent acids. It spent six months in used wooden barrels. It’s only 12.5% alcohol even in this ripe vintage.
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 22nd Sep 2018 The 2017 Régnié burst from the glass with aromas of red fruit compote, strawberries and flowers. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a textural attack, lovely depth at the core and a layered, multifaceted profile. At 13.5% natural alcohol, it’s the ripest of Sunier’s 2017s, but it’s beautifully balanced.VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Oct 2019 Shimmering red. Highly expressive red berry, exotic spice and floral aromas are complemented by subtle hints of smoky minerals and rhubarb. Appealingly sweet cherry and raspberry flavors show vibrant, juicy character, sharp precision and spicy lift. Finishes very long and sappy, repeating the floral note and hanging on with strong, mineral persistence.
VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Oct 2019 Glistening violet. Red berry and cherry preserve and candied violet scents and flavors are complemented by hints of allspice and smoky minerals. In a seamless, fruit-driven style, showing very good clarity and a sexy floral note on the finish, which is framed by slow-building tannins that fade smoothly into the wine’s juicy fruit.RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 22nd Sep 2018 The 2017 Régnié offers up a lovely bouquet of raspberries and grilled meats, followed by a medium to full-bodied, tangy palate that’s structured around some youthfully chewy tannins. Despite the back-end grip, this is an open-knit, charming expression of Régnié.
RP9494 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th May 2020 The 2019 Morgon Côte du Py has turned out beautifully, delivering an inviting nose of smoky black cherries, cassis and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, bright and lively, it’s deep and concentrated, with a fleshy core of fruit underpinned by tangy acids. This is another of Burgaud’s real successes this year.VN9494 pts. - Vinous - Aug 2021 The 2019 Morgon Côte du Py, bottled in July 2020 after aging in concrete, has an airy, much more floral bouquet than the Grand Cras, pressed iris petals and potpourri emerging with time. The medium-bodied palate delivers fine, edgy tannins, just the tight amount of bitterness and a cohesive, pure and peppery finish that lingers long in the mouth. Superb.
RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Aug 2017 The 2015 Brouilly Les Vieux Ceps is 100% destemmed and sees 12 months in barrel. It has a charming and fragrant bouquet, the oak neatly integrated with the vivacious black plum and red cherry fruit laced with vanilla pod. The palate is well balanced with juicy ripe blueberry and loganberry on the entry. This has a sensual velvety texture and a classy, caressing finish that is nigh irresistible. Superb.
RP93+93+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th May 2020 Bottled a mere week before I tasted it, Thivin’s 2019 Côte de Brouilly unwinds in the glass with inviting aromas of plums, red berries, warm spices and peonies. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, it’s bright and precise, with fine depth at the core and real energy, concluding with a long, gently tannic finish. A touch finer-boned and more dynamic than the gourmand, demonstrative 2018, this is showing very well.
VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Aug 2021 Deep magenta. Aromas of ripe red berries, cherry and rose; a peppery nuance adds spicy lift. Juicy and seamless in the mouth, offering sappy red fruit flavors complemented by suggestions of allspice and candied flowers. Shows very good clarity and solid thrust on a long, smooth finish framed by discreet tannins.
