\"Beaujolais<\/a><\/p>\n

Very impressed by these six Beaujolais wines from the 2010 vintage.<\/p>\n

2009 in Beaujolais was highly praised as a miracle vintage. The wines were fabulous. And it looks as if 2010 might be just as good, or perhaps even better. These wines were part of a major offer by The Wine Society<\/a>, and are the constituents in a mixed case. My favourite was the Morgan from Jean-Marc Burgaud, which is the only one that doesn’t seem to be available by the single bottle, although it is listed in stock as a magnum.<\/p>\n

\"Jean-Marc<\/a><\/p>\n

Jean-Marc Burgaud Morgon Cote du Py 2010 Beaujolais<\/strong>
\nDeep coloured. Vibrant, fresh, structured and spicy with grippy blackberry and black cherry fruit as well as some raspberry freshness. Distinctive mineral\/stony character, too. Lively and invigorating, this is a youthful, tannic wine that needs some time to develop. 92\/100 (\u00a312.50)<\/p>\n

Chateau de Beauregard Fleurie ‘Poncie’ 2010 Beaujolais
\n<\/strong>Fruity and quite elegant with bright cherry fruit backed by good acidity. Joyful, but with a hint of seriousness and some minerally, grainy structure. May age well. 89\/100 (\u00a312.95)<\/p>\n

George Duboeuf Chateau de Nervers Brouilly 2010 Beaujolais
\n<\/strong>Lively, fresh and bright with cherry and plum fruit and a sappy green edge. Ripe but very fresh with a tiny hint of bubblegum. Juicy and focused with good acidity. 87\/100 (\u00a39.95)<\/p>\n

Chateau Bonnet Chenas Vieilles Vignes 2010 Beaujolais
\n<\/strong>Fresh and a bit peppery with lively cherry fruit. Supple, elegant and fruity with some grip on the finish. Quite mineral. 90\/100 (\u00a39.50)<\/p>\n

Chateau Thivin Cote de Brouilly ‘Les Sept Vignes’ 2010 Beaujolais
\n<\/strong>Fresh, vivid, meaty and bloody, with brooding black cherry and blackberry fruit. Lovely presence on the palate with spice and meat notes adding savoury complexity to the fruit. Some northern Rhone-like character here. 91\/100 (\u00a312.50)<\/p>\n

Chateau de Beauregard Moulin a Vent Clos des Perelles 2010 Beaujolais
\n<\/strong>Fresh, mineral and quite elegant with ripe cherry and plum fruit. Good structure, supported by a bit of new oak. Tight and well structured, this needs some time, but an elegant Burgundy lookalike may well emerge after a few years in bottle. 89\/100 (\u00a314.95)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
