2009 Roilette Fleurie Griffe du Marquis: My understanding is that this is the same juice as the Tardive, with only the elevage different. There sure is a difference. I think this a step up from the Tardive, with more elegance and complexity. But the wine also clamped down pretty hard in the glass after just five minutes or so. Do not open now. But someday, you will be rewarded with a hell of a wine. Again, both Roilettes were clearly Beaujolais, and well within the domaine's norms.

opened this on Saturday, but Jayson has been surprisingly quiet about it. Perhaps it's meant to be behind the paywall?

I finished it last night - there is a degree of sweetness (not rs of course, but rather the aromatically expansive secondary-fruited mature variety) that shows up after much air, that i just don't expect to find in the tardive.
