Although less powerful than the 2012 this wine is excellent. Mineral and bright with lovely focused fruit and surprising levels of spice and high-toned herb notes. This will continue to evolve and fill out for 4 or 5 years says Laurent - but there is certainly no need to wait! L&S (Jan 2015)

Lovely depth of fruit. Eminently drinkable but should hold up for a few more years. (Lawther's top 2013 crus Beaujolais reds.) Drinking range: 2015 - 2018Decanter Magazine (Mar 2015)
Brilliant ruby-red colour with intense iris, violet and red fruit aromas. Hints of cherry and subtle red fruit on the palate.
Delicious on its own but also great when paired with delicatessen meats, white meat, game or sausages. Serving temperature 15° - 17°C, and best drunk between 2013 to 2020. Winemaker's notes (Sept 2014)
Domaine Laurent Martray
It is a great relief when you eventually track down the bubbly and charming Laurent Martray at his home down a muddy track just over the crest of the hill of Combillaty. He only produces from 9 hectares of vines, half of which he owns, and half he has been renting and working as his own for more than 12 years. They are all in the top Brouilly terroir of Combillaty. He normally produces about 700 cases in total. The Vieilles Vignes is aged in large oak 'foudres'. The combination of old vines and great winemaking makes Laurent Martray less vintage dependent than many Beaujolais producers. His wines have a fabulous depth of fruit with unusual purity and elegance - very impressive stuff.
