Jules Desjourneys Fleurie 'Noli Me Tangere' 2019
A blend of Les Moriers and La Chapelle des Bois, the extraordinary 2019 Fleurie noli me tangere soars from the glass with a striking bouquet of peonies, rose petals, sweet red berries, cherries, licorice, plums and blood orange. Full bodied, racy and intensely saline, Duperray's Fleurie is all energy and ethereality — in contrast to the texture and sensuality of the Moulin-à-Vent Les Michelons. Framed by beautifully powdery tannins and lively acids, it is a striking wine that will be worth a special effort to seek out.

Les Moriers and Chapelle du Bois assembled: "I don’t care! I want to make the greatest wine and I think the assembly is the greatest wine!" Here’s a nose of mineral freshness yet a certain tightness – a suggestion of delivering something great but to start with it’s hard to see – then, with air, comes a fine acid-red fruit. Wide, supple, seamless texture, then so intense. That’s another great finish – I would say haunting but it’s too intense for that. Hard to choose the winner from these last two wines – they are certainly not the same – but if I could have only one bottle I’d happily settle it by tossing a coin. Bravo. Also Grand vin.
