Domaine De La Grand'Cour (Jean-Louis Dutraive) Chapelle des Bois Fleurie Gamay 2018

So I guess this is a Gamay from the Rhône? Didn’t know such a thing existed but this is the best “Rhône” I’ve had in a long time - mostly bc it’s a Beaujolais through and through - classic muddy/cloudy consistency, intense fruit on the nose. Only issue is that it’s still very sparkly on the palate, so definitely needs a few more years. Or a very long decant. Tons of potential

Finesse and power. Should continue to evolve and reveal more over the next 5-10 years. Good fruit concentration without feeling heavy. Structured.
