Domaine Louis-Claude Desvignes 2006 Javernières Gamay (Morgon)
A majestic wine, great Beaujolais by any standard. The fruit is tense, structured, dense, with black figs, strawberry jelly and ripe red plums fitting well into the texture. It manages to be both fruity and firmly structured. This is Beaujolais for aging, an impressive wine ready to mature over five years or more. — R.V. (11/1/2009) — 94 -

Château des Jacques 2006 Clos de Rochegrès Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)
Exploding with perfumes, aromas of violets, sweet cherries and spice, this is an impressive wine, with wild cherries and damson plums. It is taut, almost Pinot Noir in its velvet texture, finishing with ripe, sweet fruit sustained by tannins. — R.V. (11/1/2009) — 93 -

Henry Fessy 2009 Gamay (Saint-Amour)
Ripe, rounded and generous, a warm plum juice-flavored wine. There is power and concentration. It is a very complete, ageworthy wine, although accessible now. — R.V. (10/1/2011) — 92 -

Henry Fessy 2009 Gamay (Fleurie)
A richly aromatic wine, with swathes of sweet fruit, ripe tannins and a juicy, jammy feel. This is so generous, open, welcoming. There is structure as well, cushioned by the sweet fruits. — R.V. (10/1/2011) — 92 -

Paul Beaudet 2009 Côte de Py Gamay (Morgon)
Big, ripe and opulent, its ripe tannins balanced by perfumed red fruits. There is a solid core of dark and smoky dryness, a center that promises good aging. Already, though, the wine is showing its concentration and richness. — R.V. (12/15/2011) — 92 -

Paul Beaudet 2009 Clos de la Brosse Gamay (Saint-Amour)
The rare ripeness of the 2009 vintage is shown in the high alcohol, for Beaujolais at least, of this wine. Not that it shows, except in weight. The acidity is right there along with ripe plums. An ageworthy, finely concentrated wine. — R.V. (10/1/2011) — 92 -

Paul Beaudet 2009 Côte du Py Gamay (Morgon)
From two different domaines on the Côte de Py slope, this is a dense, firm wine, very solid and powerful. The wine has opulence under its structure, with rich plum and sweet jelly flavors. Worth aging for another year. — R.V. (10/1/2011) — 92 -

Château de la Terrière 2009 Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)
A wine that combines richness with a great structure. It is ripe, smoky, the red fruits rich and concentrated. A wine that is packed with juicy fruit and also with a good aging potential. — R.V. (10/1/2011) — 92 -

Château des Jacques 2010 Clos du Grand Carquelin Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)
A finely perfumed wine, touched with wood, Beaujolais in a Burgundy style, structured and with intense acidity. It is packed with firm tannins, surrounded by a lively cherry and rich fruit character. — R.V. (10/1/2011) — 92 -

Jacques Charlet 2009 Champ de Cour Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)
Such a concentrated wine, with the intensity of red Burgundy but with the juiciness of Beaujolais. Swathes of smooth fruit wash around the palate, coupled with a touch of minerality and a dense texture. Age for 2–3 years and more. — R.V. (10/1/2011) — 92
