Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 90
"The 2023 Fleurie comes from vines on partly granitic and sable/Limoneau soils. This has the most floral bouquet of the range, with raspberry and Morello cherries, touches of bergamot and light loamy scents. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh with crisp and quite strict tannins, but perhaps does not have the same complexity as the Morgon on the finish. Still, this is very fine." -Neal Martin

What importer Polaner Selections has to say about this wine...

Varietals
Gamay
Vineyard
At almost 500 m in elevation, the steeply pitched parcel of “Niagara” is the source of Julien’s Fleurie cuvée. Planted in the early 1960s to a density of 10000 vines per hectare.
Orientation
Southern oriented
Soil
Mother rock of pure pink granite with little topsoil, the parcel is rocky and a challenge to work.
Viticulture
Organic farming, harvesting done entirely by hand.
Vinification
Indigenous yeast fermentations in concrete vats at low temperatures, to preserve fresh fruit flavors and a delicate tannic structure. After fermentations are complete, fruit is slowly pressed, over a 24 hour period, using an ancient vertical press Julien acquired in the Côte D’Or.
Aging
Aged for up to 11 months in 3 - 9 year old Burgundy barrels so the charming fruit and granitic soil flavors aren't lost.
