Score 90/100 · Drink 2018-2021, Josh Raynolds, Oct 2017
Bright red. Lively and precise on the nose and palate, displaying fresh red fruit and floral qualities and showing no excess fat. Insanely easy to drink, offering excellent clarity and a long, spice- and floral-accented finish. While not the last word in complexity, I find this exuberant wine to be pretty irresistible.

The 2016 Raisins Gaulois, Lapierre's Vin de France cuvée, was fermented as a Beaujolais with a two-week maceration and bottled just after Christmas. It has a light rose petal and Morello cherry-scented bouquet. The palate is well balanced, easy drinking with a supple, light-hearted finish.
