Sorry, you cannot have them back! Was just in my storage units to grab one, and did not remember that I bought that many. Grabbed a Cuvee Corcelette, popping now . . . .
Robert, please report…
This is me too.
for my tastes, the 2007 >>> 2009 (right now).
The Cote du Py was the star of the show at my dinner in Paris (Beaujolais 2009 et carré de porc à la sauge au TGJP ) though the Corcelette was pretty good too.
Actually was an '06, still a nasty trick to do blind, especially putting it right next to the LT!
No one actually pegged it as Bojo either.
The '07 is one of the greatest. Has to be the wine of the vintage.
My note from January 2015 on the 2010:
Tastes alot like the Fleurie except a bit denser and a bit more tannic.
Deep fruit masked somewhat by firm tannin and acidity. Alcohol is noticeable and slight heat on finish.
Needs a few years at least to soften, though it is drinkable now.
Since there is a general consensus on the greatness of Foillard and Lapierre but there seems to be varying opinions as to specific wines, I’ll muddy the waters further.
I loved the 09 Lapierre young, I love it now. I did not find it overly heavy and I don’t like heavy wines, especially Bojo which I prize for its freshness, bright, ripe fruit and accessibility. Its definitely riper, and a product of the hot vintage, but I love it.
I did not like the 14 Lapierre’s - they seem dilute and muted to me next to other 14’s I have tried, I’m hoping that its just a phase (for me or 4 the wines).
I love the 11 Cuvee Marcel.
Foillard Fleurie is my favorite in Beaujolais.
A 2010 Côte du Py was a real eye opener for me, stunning from the moment the cork was pulled.
Had the 2009 Foillard Fleurie last week. Pretty stunning bottle. Can’t wait to try the 2014 in a few years.
Cheers,
Hal
