Corcelette 2012 de Foillard

On dit grand bien du millésime il me semble.

Les meilleures cuvées de vins rouges seront sans doute proches en densité des 2011, avec un peu moins de fond toutefois et davantage de vivacité. Les autres joueront sur le registre du fruit frais et de la délicatesse.

After the successful, though stylistically diametrical 2009s and 2010s, wine lovers willing to explore the still too little appreciated virtues of the best Beaujolais are blessed by 2011 with yet another crop of outstanding values, further enhanced by the euro’s recent ebb, and admirably suited to the current thrift conscious, risk adverse state of households and national economies practically the world over. Nor would it be fair to this region’s best producers or the vintage to overlook the number of 2008 Beaujolais that significantly surpassed the expectations of most observers – including this one – with their complexity and stamina. Those wines are ideal for exploring over the coming year. Looking ahead, it’s worth mentioning that the poor flowering, small clusters, hail, and early summer rain and pest pressure of 2012 added up to what several old timers testified was one of the toughest vintages of modern times, with an unusually small if ultimately qualitatively encouraging harvest. This second extreme shortfall in three years spells further economic travail for the region’s already beleaguered growers. But, hopefully, the bounty of 2011 will restrain any who are fence sitting from rushing their 2012s to market

Je serais fort étonné que 2012 surpasse 2011, je trouvais d'ailleurs ce dernier légèrement supérieur à 2010 sur les vins que j'ai goûtés
