I feel the same way. I had a few back in the 00s and liked them, but now only have 1 bottle of 2014, bought for something like $80 (plus or minus I forget). That gets into the realm of 1er cru burgundy. So I'm hesitant to open it and will probably not be buying any more!

This was so delicious. Red fruit driven, cherry and raspberry with great acidity. Very mineral, with a little bit of that forest floor aroma as well. Most surprising thing to me was how clean this tasted, with Lapierre I expect a little Brett and there was none. The tannins on this came across almost crunchy, or dusty. This is not your everyday Beaujolais, this is a serious red wine. Reminded me so much of Burgundy, or at least what I want Burgundy to be, but it often doesn't live up to.
I am not a lover of Beaujolais normally. I find most of them to be simple drinkers that would probably be better mixed up for Sangria, but this was killer. Honestly I'd take this over 9/10 village level Burgundies.
