Jane Eyre Fleurie 2022
100% Wholebunch. Screwcap.
Made from a blend of Labourons (another parcel), La Madone and Garants. I wanted to make a more 'traditional' Beaujolais. Each parcel was handpicked and vinified together. 100% whole bunch, 10 days maceration on skins before aging for 7 months in tank and bottled in April 2023. Perfect for summer drinking, or if you are searching for a lighter red wine. The nose is a blend of rose petal and white-pepper. Medium to light weight on the palate it is fresh with soft tannins on the finish. Made to drink now. Jane Eyre.
From Labourons, La Madone and Garenne. This version of Fleurie has been vinified with all the stems over 10 days cuvaison, aged in stainless steel and bottled in March under screwcap. A mix of crimson and purple. The bouquet has pure energetic Beaujolais notes, definitely some white pepper on top of the fruit. Light and fresh up front, more substantial behind, a bouquet of strawberries. Easy to open and easy to drink. Then open another on. 90 points, drink 2023-2025, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.
