Louis Tête 2007 Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
A wine for short-term aging, despite the relative lightness of the vintage and wine. It has firm tannins and dark berry fruits, layered with plum skins. The fruit sits on a base of tannins and acidity, while the surface remains bright and fresh.

Louis Tête 2007 Les Charmeuses Gamay (Morgon)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Tannins dominate here, the fruit offering some bright support. The wine is certainly firm, although it misses some concentration. But it is well balanced, berry fruits showing well against a drier core. The aftertaste offers freshness and acidity. Drink over the next year.

Louis Tête 2008 Le Chatelin Gamay (Brouilly)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
A rounded, generous wine that shows red plums, fresh red berry acidity, but also a layer of tannins. That puts it into a food-friendly category, full of flavor and fruit, but also well structured.

Louis Tête 2008 Le Pot Nouveau Gamay (Beaujolais-Villages)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
It may be labeled Nouveau, but this wine is hardly ready for drinking at this early stage after the harvest. It is a properly structured wine, which shows relatively ripe berries and a gush of lively fruit and acidity. It is worth keeping until the end of the year.

Louis Tête 2009 Le Pot Beaujolais Villages Nouveau Gamay (Beaujolais-Villages)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
A relatively full-bodied wine, ripe and smothered in raspberry jam. It has a layer of banana flavor, acidity and even some tannin. It’s like drinking red berry juice.

Louis Tête 2008 Beaujolais Nouveau Gamay
- Online Exclusive
- $14
This is rich for a nouveau, its blackberry jammy texture offering more than just juicy fruit. The burst of strawberry and banana is classic, but the ripe fruit gives the wine some additional complexity.

- Online Exclusive
- $15
Initially this one seems very dry, then richer black fruits come through, providing some weight. It finishes deliciously fruity.
