2020 Mommessin Saint-Amour, France, Beaujolais, Wine Review

Another Beaujolais from a top Burgundy negociant. Garnet in color with a purple core, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is nice with cherries, cherry blossoms, strawberries and slight anise. Lovely texture. Light tannins. Lower acidity. Cherries with some anise especially on the finish. Drinking well now on its own and should work well with food. Mushroom pasta in a cream sauce would work well. Drink over the next seven to ten years.

Great showing for this wine (also see the note on their sparkling Gamay wine found at https://www.intowine.com/reviews/nv-domaine-de-la-voute-des-crozes-effer... Garnet in color with purple swirls, mostly clear and bright. The nose is deep with black cherries, cherries, and nutmeg. Full bodied. Firm tannins. Lovely texture. On the palate, there is plenty of black cherry fruit and some cherries with a touch of minerality. Good bala

In a recent tasting of Cru Beaujolais, this was my top rated wine. It is a big wine, but has the structure to hang the fruit on and everything is in proportion. Purple in color, ruby at the rim, mostly opaque and bright. Great nose. Some oak showing but not overbearing. Cherries, black cherries, dark chocolate, slight spice and even a floral tone. Full bodied. Firm tannins. On the palate, this is delicious. Black cherries, cherries, a bit of anise and dark chocolate. Long finish. This drinks great on its own, but will work well with most foods. It would be a nice choice with a C

Purchased on release and well cellared, this has help up great. Deep garnet in color with some purple hues, mostly clear and bright. The nose has cherries, slight earthiness, a hint of floral notes. Uncharacteristically for this winery, this was clean with no animal or barnyard notes. Medium to full bodied. Lively. No sign of age. On the palate, vibrant cherry and black cherry fruit with a modicum of complexity. Long finish. Different bottles will vary at this stage, so it probably should be drunk sooner than later, but this bottle would have gone another ten. Nice with food than

Does Beaujolais age? This was opened at a recent tasting of Beaujolais to show that it really does. Not even a specific Cru, with the original $15 price sticker still on the bottle, this was fresh and drinking well. Is it an amazing wine? No, but it is solid and enjoyable. Ruby in color with some darker swirls. The nose has fresh cherry fruit and slight candy. Medium bodied. No tannins. On the palate, cherries with some depth. Good acidity. Nice finish. This drinks nicely on its own and would work great with a mushroom pizza.

A really lovely wine for $20. This is a Cru Beaujolais that is drinking great now and should be good for another 7 to 10 years! Deep garnet in color. Clear and bright. The nose has cherries and slight cherry powdered drink mix. On the palate, tart bing cherries with slight tannins. Slightly sour (in a good way) on the finish. In ten years, this should drink like a Pinot of comparable age. It is very food friendly with good acidity. Think anything from Salmon to mushroom dishes to poultry.
