Prompted by Jayson's Brun note.

Just coming into tertiary mode. This wine has been pretty blocky so far but you can see its future, which will be lovely. Baked cherries, fish sauce, faded roses, and so forth. Three years should be perfect.

These wines are just taking a while, for the most part. Patience will be rewarded.

Though I'm real curious about the Brun Morgon and will check it out. That vineyard must not be in Py?
 
Chambers says, "From one hectare of old vines on sandy soils over decomposed granite ("gorhe") in the lieu-dit "Grand Cras." A high spot with southern exposition, similar to Corcelette but the soil is more porous, and suffers a little from dryness."

I think he has a separate Cote du Py bottling.
 
We drank the 09 Roilette Fleurie tardive recently and it was drinking nicely. It still has some noticeable tannin structure to resolve. The fruit left was on the ripe side but I didn’t get overwhelmed by overripe, dried or cooked fruit flavors.

I bought probably 3+ cases of various 09 Beaujolais and decided I didn’t really like most of them that much. When my son got married in the summer of 2017 I got to supply the wine for the wedding party. Most of my 09 Beaujolais were drank that weekend so I have very few left.

Brun has a Morgon Javernieres from the Cote de Py. 2015 Beaujolais Cru has been occasionally a bit over the top for me, but I've ploughed my way through 5 bottles of this delightful wine in the 2015 vintage.
