Here Today, Gone Tomorrow:
2023 Lapierre Morgon Sans Soufre

The Sans Soufre takes Lapierre's signatures of deliciousness and purity to the next level.

Picture-Perfect Fleurie

Foillard's Fleurie stands dangerously close to being the Platonic ideal of Fleurie.

Beaujolais Distance Runner - Don't Miss Vintage:
2021 Roilette Fleurie Griffe du Marquis

If you're looking for sternly mineral and long-aging Beaujolais, Roilette is the place to look.

2022 Château Thivin Côte de Brouilly:
Les Griottes de Brulhié, Godefroy, & La Chapelle

At their best, Thivin turns out Beaujolais of truly uncommon earthy depth and ageability.

Back Up The Truck - Cru Beaujolais Edition
2020 Dubost Moulin-à-vent En Brenay

"This historic estate continues to rank among the reference points for classical, age-worthy cru Beaujolais" - 2021 Château Thivin Côte de Brouilly:

The Pinnacle of Py - Magnum Edition:
2017 Foillard Morgon Cote du Py Cuvee 3.14 Magnums

The 3,14 bottling is only made in special years and is always one of the most exciting releases.

2018 Foillard Morgon Côte du Py Magnums

Foillard is one of the legends of Beaujolais, and magnums of his Côte du Py always disappear quickly.

Rare Métras Magnums -
2016 Moulin-à-Vent VV

We should set expectations right away. There's very little available. In 2006, Yvon Métras purchased a mere 0.6ha of Moulin-à-Vent near his home. In general, Métras of any kind is very hard to find in quantity. Magnums of his Moulin-à-Vent VV are close to impossible to land in quantity.
