Very nice nose of citrus fruit, apricot, perfumed and kirsch, very open, touches of liquorice, tar, very granitic. Lively and fresh attack, vertical, crispy, we have al dente grapes for a vertical, nervous, dashing and sharp wine, which will gain fat and amplitude with ageing. Very good.

Viticulture

Archetypal of the appellation, due to its location, its postcard view and its decomposed and eroded pink granite soil, situated under the chapel of the same name, this terroir is to Fleurie what Tézier is to Cornas, a degraded granite rocky spur capable of producing transcendent wines of finesse, never demonstrative. This is the latest acquisition of the estate.

Oenology

Vinification in whole bunches. Semi-carbonic fermentation called "Beaujolais" in truncated wooden vats. No chaptalisation, except in exceptional cases. Long maceration of at least three weeks. Aged for at least 18 months in stainless steel vats. Bottling by hand.

Domain

Fabien Duperray has all the talents of wine, or almost all of them. A "haute couture" wine merchant in his first life (he still is!) in order to offer the greatest wines of Burgundy and elsewhere to restaurants and international customers, he also launched himself into the production of great wines from Beaujolais (where he lives) with the 2007 vintage; then into the production of whites from Mâconnais since the 2014 vintage, in collaboration with the winemaker Christophe Thibert.

Today he is unanimously recognised for this double production in France, in Europe and even throughout the world, winning the best rankings and scores. The recipes for his success are simple and at the same time very demanding: organic and even biodynamic viticulture, which does not cheat and goes to the end of its ideas; meticulous work on the soils; drastic control of yields; and finally a unique precision in the choice of harvest dates (to the nearest half-day).

In the cellar, the wines are matured with little or no wood, in order to preserve the identity of each cru and not to disguise the identity of the terroir, including the whites, which is rare in Burgundy. We therefore propose the following three wines to measure the very high quality of the work accomplished.
