Louis Boillot's maiden Beaujolais vintage from 4 ha of his own vineyards in Moulin-à-Vent. 50- to 60-year-old vines yielded 39 hl/ha in 2014. Extraction over three weeks in cuve. Maturation was 50% cuve, 50% barrel, of which 20% new, 80% three years old.
Lightish crimson. Lightly smoky and mineral with a hint of oak entwined with the peppery dark-red fruit. Lithe, juicy and delicious but not at all simple. Has both purity of fruit and an expression of origin. A little savoury note on the long finish. 
When to drink: 2016 - 2024

Although from the same variety (100 percent Gamay), Thibault Ligier-Belair's concentrated, complex Beaujolais is poles apart from the bright and breezy nouveau style with which most drinkers are familiar. From eight parcels of vines of up to 95 years old, on the nose this shows an appealing hint of reduction which gives way to aromas of kirsch and dark berry fruit. The palate is characteristically mineral and tannic, and will benefit from decanting. Drink now to 2029.

Less “nervous” than on its release, but just as energetic, with lifted red berry and floral aromas, fresh acidity and chalky tannins which seem to channel the eponymous rock beneath Thibault’s vines – this parcel just beside the (also eponymous) windmill. There’s real weight of fruit on the palate, including darker berry flavours behind the initial surge of red. A hugely complex wine which will reward a decade’s cellaring.

The lieu-dit of Javernières lies at the foot of the Côte du Py, on soils of deep clay. This cuvée is invariably deep-coloured, concentrated and age-worthy, but the ’14 – in keeping with the vintage – majors on crunchy red fruit and mouth-watering acidity. The palate is medium-bodied, with a winning soupçon of spice. Drinking brilliantly in winter 2017.

A serious wine in the sense that its complexity, concentration and structure mean it will benefit greatly from another five to ten years in bottle. But equally, Les Impénitents bursts with such intense aromas of blue fruit and something akin to watercolour paints (the result of carbonic maceration) - it’s bound to bring a smile to your face. With every swirl of the glass, an extra layer of aromatic complexity is revealed: earth, gunflint, woodsmoke…
Century-old vines in heavy, clay-rich soils at the base of the Côte du Py (in the lieu dit Javernières) give a wine that is at once massive, with exceptionally fine medium to high tannins, yet light on its feet. The ’14 is shot through with fresh acidity, indicative of a stellar vintage described as ‘classique et gourmand’ by Louis-Benoît Desvignes.
For what it’s worth, the esteemed La Revue du vin de France rated this the top wine of all Beaujolais in 2014.

The nose of summer pudding and violets is classic Fleurie. The palate is even more impressive, with flavours of ripe red berries, mulberry (aptly, this vineyard is named after the mulberry trees which once grew here) and a mineral note I’d describe as ‘cherry stone.’ Les Moriers lies on the border of Fleurie and Moulin-à-Vent, which accounts for it’s structure – lithe but with some of the muscle we expect from the latter appellation.
Like many of the best wines of Beaujolais, Les Moriers is light-hearted, quaffable, yet complex and fine, not to mention age-worthy. Drink now to 2022.

A truly special cuvée, hence Thibault’s choice to release it only in magnum, les Vignes Centenaires hails from some of the oldest (a proportion planted in 1872) and best-sited vines in Beaujolais. In ’14, Thibault retained almost half the stems, and aged 40% of this cuvée in new wood, untoasted, to preserve the purity of fruit Thibault regards as one of its hallmarks, alongside extraordinary concentration and length. Best approached from 2019 onwards.
