Beaujolais L'Ancien - Le Buissy
-- John Gilman: Along with the Cuvée Traditionelle from Domaine de Vissoux, this is probably the most consistently exceptional Beaujolais bottling that has been produced in the region in the last couple of decades, but the 2012 was decidedly a child of its vintage. Happily, the 2013 is back to the customary level of this excellent cuvée, offering up a deep and youthful aromatic constellation of cherries, quince, vinesmoke, pepper, gamebirds and complex soil tones. On the palate the wine is deep, fullish and still youthfully tight, with a fine core, lovely soil signature, 34 tangy acids, a bit of youthful tannin and a long, primary and slightly peppery finish. This needs a year or two in the cellar to really start to come into its own, but it will be a fine example of Cuvée l’Ancien in the fullness of time. However, folks who decide to open it early on will probably find it a bit youthfully tight and showing some herbacité. 2016-2030+. 90+/100
