Signé Vigneron 2008 Château des Moriers Gamay (Fleurie)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $17
This is big Fleurie, dominated by floral aromas and dry tannins at this stage, and therefore likely to develop for a year or two. The fruits are dark plum, full in the mouth. The acidity offers freshness but also adds to the weight of the texture.

Signé Vigneron 2008 Domaine Leroux Morin Gamay (Chiroubles)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
A pure strawberry jam wine, its ripe fruit scintillating with freshness and acidity. The wine is also round, with tannins giving some weight. The aftertaste is deliciously fruity.

Signé Vigneron 2008 Domaine de la Passion Gamay (Moulin-à-Vent)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Certainly an attractive presentation with its cute pink heart on the label, this is also an attractive, finely structured wine which brings together some good tannins and ripe fruits, a hint of licorice and fresh acidity.

Signé Vigneron 2008 Domaine des Grands Cèdres Gamay (Fleurie)
- Online Exclusive
- $23
There is a good depth of red fruit flavor here, along with a touch of tannins, a granite feel to the structure, but also an open acidity. The wine has a delicious, fresh and juicy finish.

Signé Vigneron 2008 Domaine des Grands Cèdres Gamay (Fleurie)
- $23
With a ripe, juicy character, this wine brings out the richer side of Fleurie. It is perfumed, concentrated, packed with black berries, plums and serious tannins. A wine for aging.

Signé Vigneron 2006 Pierre Rougon Red (Gigondas)
- $26
Comes out of the chute stinky, like a sweaty bull at a rodeo, but it settles down to deliver dark-skinned fruit, earth and espresso flavors. It’s mouthfilling and round, with a long finish and soft tannins.

Signé Vigneron 2008 La Folie Gamay (Saint-Amour)
- Online Exclusive
Soft, open wine, the dry tannins a subplot to the fresh strawberry fruits and gentle acidity. There is a final bright, clear aftertaste.
— R.V.

Signé Vigneron 2008 Domaine de l’Aubépin Gamay (Beaujolais-Villages)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
For a Beaujolais-Villages, there are surprisingly firm tannins here, but the vibrant fruit seems equal to them. There is freshness, with a bright cherry aftertaste.
