Flight 1 (6 Notes)

  • 2019 Jean Foillard Fleurie

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Fleurie

    Violets and cherries on the nose, no funk, maybe a little reduction? This is great. High acid but not volatile, delicate frame but tons of fruit and red flowers, nice mineral savory finish. Got even better after an hour of being open, aromatics really singing.

    Reduction. Super graphite on the palate, decent cherry raspberry fruit, little rasp finish. Probably should’ve waited but the Screwtop threw me off. We did not finish this bottle.

  • 2019 Anne Sophie Dubois Fleurie Les Labourons

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Fleurie

    No brett in this bottle. A little medicinal on the nose, cherry. Super light body, very savory, like cherry thyme juice. Ethereal, really nice light bitterness on the finish. Just excellent.

    Same medicinal note as ASD. Darker fruit and lower acid, leaning black cherry, thankfully has some gravel on the finish to help balance. Not bad at all, but not great either.

  • 2020 Yann Bertrand Fleurie Chaos Suprême

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Fleurie

    Super cherry nose, incredible concentration. Just lovely, med+ acid and lots of fruit. A tinty tinge of yeasty/bacterial on the finish but not bad.

    Edit: a little bit survived the tasting. The funk was way worse on day 2. Either drink fast or hold and hope it resolves?

  • 2020 Yann Bertrand Fleurie Vieilles Vignes

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Fleurie

    Cherry floral intensity. Same Med+ acid and fruit as the chaos but with more grip and minerality in the finish. I’d give it another year or two if I had more, but it's already fantastic.

Flight 2 (6 Notes)

Flight 3 (3 Notes)

  • 2015 Jules Desjourneys Fleurie Sacré Graal

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Fleurie

    Super concentrated. This is _serious_ Fleurie, I definitely would not guess this blind. It has the red fruit but it's just turned up to 11 instead of being light and delicate. Tons of complexity, great acidity (surprising for a 2015!) and a lovely balanced finish. I preferred the 2014 but this is also great.

  • 2014 Jules Desjourneys Fleurie Les Moriers

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Fleurie

    Stunning, wotn for me. All of the concentration and complexity of the 2015 Sacré Graal but with more delicacy and elegance. Beautiful fruit on the nose, perfect acidity. Just an absolutely bonkers good bottle.

  • 1973 Pierre Monget Fleurie

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Fleurie

    Shockingly alive for a 50yo bottle of negociant Fleurie. Fell over in 5ish minutes and went cardboardy, but still pretty incredible. Still some bright red fruit but lots of earth and mushroom and vegetal stuff going on too.
