I've long loved Beaujolais, and particularly Morgon. I found this on the bottle list at Bar Parisette in Chicago this past weekend and was very excited.
This wine was absolutely thrilling, and in a real prime drinking spot right now. An unquestionably great vintage for the region, this wine was displaying vivid ripe fruit, petrichor and lively acidity. The finish was lengthy with a beguiling blend of subtle spice notes intermingled with floral tones.
For dinner I had coconut curry mussels that worked really well with the wine. A memorable wine, from one of the regions best winemakers. I'm very glad I've got a healthy amount of Beaujolais in my cellar, but I really wish I had a few more bottles of this.

Just pulled up the menu. Not bad for $100. Looking at the rest of the menu their prices are incredibly fair.
I’ve never had this aged, or any cru bojo for that matter. Should try it out.
I love Foillard, however I had a couple of cote du pys that were strangely ripe. How was this?
A pretty and delicate wine, I’ve had a few of these but never one 10 years old and while good they were not that memorable to me, maybe I should let them age a little longer! was there any funk upon first opening it?
