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)

Château de la Terrière 2009 Cuvée de la Lure Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $23

A smoothly ripe wine, with swathes of cherry and black currant fruits balanced by lively acidity. The wine, with its richness and the tannic structure, could well age for 3-4 years, although its fruitiness makes it delicious now. — R.V. (12/15/2011)

Editors' Choice

Price $22

Rich, concentrated red and black plum flavor dominate a wine that shows structure as well as intensity. This is powerful stuff, a delicious wine, fruity but with a core of dark tannins. It is just edging into maturity, so drink this year. The name recalls the Counts of Souzy who once governed the region. — R.V. (11/1/2009)

Château de la Terrière 2009 Cuvée Jules de Souzy Vieilles Vignes Gamay (Brouilly)

Online Exclusive

Price $24

Bottled unfiltered, this is a richly ripe wine, layered with a more smoky, even mineral, texture from the volcanic soil of the vineyard. It is dense, the tannins giving hints of wood as well as a black plum skin character. — R.V. (12/15/2011)

Château de la Terrière 2007 Vieilles Vignes Cuvée Jules du Souzy Gamay (Brouilly)

Price $22

Aged in wood, and bottled without filtration, this is a smooth, rich wine that has certainly benefited from the extra concentration of old vines. The flavors—red plums, licorice, black fig jelly—are given weight by dryness from wood and from tannins. — R.V. (11/1/2009)

Château de la Terrière 2007 Cuvée de la Lure Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)

Price $25

Definitely a wine with structure. It has a dense core of dry tannins, which leave the impression of a concentrated wine. The fruit is only just there, demanding time for aging. That it should age well is indicated by the deliciously juicy finish. — R.V. (11/1/2009)

points

Château de la Terrière 2008 Cuvée de la Lure Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)

Price $20

Hints of smoky bacon and wood are now giving this wine some maturity. It has firm tannins still, but also a rich texture, with some red berries still present. — R.V. (10/1/2011)

points

Château de la Terrière 2006 Gamay Noir (Brouilly)

Price $21

The largest of the Beaujolais crus makes relatively soft wine, and this is no exception. It has open fruit flavors dominated by red berries and tinged with acidity. The background is soft tannins and the foreground is all fruit. — R.V. (9/1/2008)
