Rated 90 – The 2021 Beaujolais-Villages from Marine Descombes is nicely ripe for the vintage,coming in at an even thirteen percent and bursting from the glass in a vibrant aromatic blend ofblack cherries, sweet cranberries, bonfire, a lovely base of dark soil, sweet stem tones and a top note of peonies. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and focused, with lovely depth at the core, good soil signature and grip, just a wisp of backend tannin and lovely balance on the long and complex finish. This is a very good bottle of Beaujolais-Villages, but Mary Taylor always seems to work with top producers! – View From the Cellar
Gamay, a red grape varietal primarily associated with Beaujolais in France, is celebrated for its vibrant and approachable character.

Remarkably ripe and harmonious for a wine from the challenging 2021 vintage this has excellent depth and nice warm tannins. With a little aeration the red fruit and rooty characters expand nicely. The long crisp finish is the only place you feel the acidity, but it is married to a crushed rock character. Drink or hold.
