Jean-Paul Bartier, La Reine de l’Arenite, Beaujolais

82
Tasted by: Andy Howard MW, James Lawther MW, Matt Wilkin MS
(at Decanter magazine's September 2017 issue Cru Beaujolais 2015 panel tasting, 12 Jun 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2019
Some smoky, slightly reductive notes with hints of leafy red berry fruit on the palate. Acidity is quite strident with a notable green edge which makes the finish overly dry. Elegant weight and texture.
