Drank Lapierre Morgon 2010 and 2011 tonight, both from 375. No contest: 2011 was shrill and thin while 2010 was full and well-balanced.

Well, Eric says 2010 is great in Morgon.
Fwiw, I've been liking the 2011 Beaujolais I've tried, but it's mostly been lower level and mostly taken a bit of time to strut its stuff after a rocky start (l'Ancien being an exception). I did taste the Lapierre MMXI a while ago, and fell hard for it.

Very interesting. From 750mls, the '11 normale and cuvée marcel a few weeks ago were both very good. The latter a bit closed, but neither was shrill or thin. Rather perfectly balanced, they seemed to me.

I think so. That was the only time I've had the '11s.

A year's difference in age, of course.
Insert whopine concerning the uselessness of tasting notes, subjective experience, apostasy, whatever.

The only 2011s I've had so far are Vissoux, Bouland and Coudert. I figured that if there were to be a hit on this vintage, it would be, as with the 09s, that it was too much of a muchness. I've liked the ones I've tasted, so far.

Yes, what's with those funny bottles? Packing advantages?

didn't care for the Marcel much that day, probably because I brought the bottle :)
the regular was nice indeed
Thivin really did well in 2009 too.originally posted by BJ:

I should have some of this; Thivin's a personal favorite.
