- TASTING NOTE: As always this is bright, focused, and energetic - the fruit-filled 2021 Fleurie "Les Moriers" reflects its outstanding terroir with good concentration and a superb depth not usually found in the wines of Fleurie. In 2021, a vintage that displays attractive, forward charm it carries the scent of wild sweet dark strawberries and plum skin. It's very lush and vivid, tasting generous and fluid with great vibrancy.
- ABOUT THE WINE / PRODUCER: As ardent defenders of traditional Beaujolais methods, the Chignards take a minimalist approach in both the vineyards and the cellar. The Domaine's 8 hectares of vines are situated right at the top of the hill bordering Moulin-à-Vent, on pure granitic soil inflected with the manganese found in Moulin-à-Vent. The ‘Moriers’ lieu-dit contains their oldest vines, some of which are over 80-years-old and all of which are free-standing in traditional ‘gobelet’ style. All grapes are harvested by hand. Vinification is natural, in keeping with the local tradition, including whole cluster fermentation, and vatting for 6 to 8 days before pressing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel and cement cuves. The wine is aged in old foudres (large oak barrels) for 13 months and is bottled unfined and unfiltered. This is a tiny estate, the entire operation takes place beneath their house, there are just three small foudres and a row of 6 barrels.
