    Georges Duboeuf follows this cru estate, owned by the Meziat family, and produces the wine. It is a ripe wine, shot through with young, juicy acidity. There is structure as well as minerality to give the wine shape. Drink from late 2017.

    With ripe fruits and balanced tannins, this wine is developing well. It has generous berry flavors, ripe black currants and refreshing acidity. The tannins are still prominent and need to soften. Drink from late 2016.

    This is a concentrated, firm and tannic wine. It has a structured feel from Chiroubles, which are the highest vineyards in Beaujolais. With its black fruits, dark tannins and concentrated texture, it could certainly age for 2–3 years, although it is ready to drink now.
