Spring Beaujolais Case

A soft, mellow, highly satisfying fully mature Fleurie from an impeccable source, this was aged in small wooden barrels and is now showing Burgundy-like mellowness. It displays the hallmark perfume so typical of the wines of Fleurie. A Beaujolais cru perfect for drinking now.

From a small, one-hectare plot of vines rooted in granite soil since 1934, the 2023 Les Charmes exemplifies the elegance of the vintage. It offers fragrant red and black fruits, a touch of violet florals, a silky texture and a crisp fresh finish with a satisfying crunch. Charmes by name and charming in character.

Lantignié is considered on of the best climat Villages in Beaujolais and many expect it to be the next Cru. Piron’s Fructus, planted on very old vines, is bright and balanced, with floral freshness, ripe black and red fruit, a touch of earthiness and fine, powdery tannins.

From one of the top names in Beaujolais comes this classic Brouilly. Bright, mineral and savoury with soft, elegant texture. Classic in style with delicious ripe black fruits and a ferrous edge. Fragrant and deliciously drinkable.

A rich, decadent and silky example of Juliénas from a warm, ripe vintage, this is exceptionally generous, smooth and voluptuous offering instant gratification. Sourced by mastermind negociant Jean-Marc Darbon, the fruit comes from a well-known high-end domaine, but at a fraction of the price.

A plump, silky Moulin-à-Vent from the famous Thorins vineyard, with fleshy, ripe-red fruit notes and a long, pure finish. Terrific value.
