This 2015 L'Alchimiste comes from the vintage when Anne-Sophie Dubois loosened her own rules. Born in Champagne and trained in Burgundy, she had fully destemmed all of her Fleuries and fermented them Burgundy-style until 2015, when she brought whole bunches back for more fruit and tension. That was also the year she launched Les Cocottes, and L'Alchimiste was made from partially destemmed fruit, which puts it halfway between her two approaches. The cuvée is her selection of vines over forty years old, from her plots in the lieu-dit Les Labourons at 380 meters, where shallow sandy soils sit over pink granite. The name comes from Paulo Coelho's novel The Alchemist, a story about following your dreams. Dubois calls the wine deep, elegant and fine, and now that this bottle is a decade old, it's a rare chance to see what serious cru Beaujolais does with time.

More about Anne-Sophie Dubois

Anne-Sophie Dubois moved from Champagne to Fleurie and quickly established herself as one of the region's most thoughtful vignerons. Since 2015 she's been making Les Cocottes with 100% whole-cluster carbonic maceration, bottled in spring for early drinking, but with an Anne-Sophie Dubois level of aromatic nuance and mineral backbone underneath. This is bright, juicy Beaujolais that doesn't compromise on complexity. After years away from the market, Les Cocottes is back, and it's everything you remember.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Coq au vin, roast duck breast with cherries, saucisson de Lyon with lentils, pork tenderloin with wild mushrooms, or a wedge of aged Comté.

Tasting Profile

Expect the floral, finely built side of cru Beaujolais: red cherry, raspberry and violet over a stony, granite-driven core, with the extra depth old vines bring. Oak is there for texture rather than flavour, so the medium body stays silky, with fine tannins, fresh acidity and a long, savoury finish. Think Burgundian elegance in a Gamay frame.
