Proof that Gamay can age like a thoroughbred, from a former Burgundy wine agent who set out to make the most serious Beaujolais possible. Fabien Duperray founded Jules Desjourneys in 2007, farming ancient vines biodynamically and bottling them with the patience usually reserved for grand cru. Les Moriers sits on Fleurie's border with Moulin-a-Vent, a sandy-granite climat known for giving Gamay extra grip and spine. This 2010 is a mature back-vintage from a private cellar, so the primary fruit has given way to depth and complexity. A rare chance to taste what cellared cru Beaujolais becomes.

"While the corresponding La Chapelle des Bois appeared from cask to have had an edge on Duperray’s 2010 Fleurie Les Moriers Tres Vieilles Vignes, from bottle this dramatically different wine – which he describes as “the nose of Fleurie with the palate of Moulin-a-Vent” – is no less impressive than its immediate sibling. Deeply concentrated plum and cherry fruit are allied to iodine-tinged saline, sweet shrimp shell reduction intimated already in the nose and serving for saliva gland-milking in an amazingly thrusting, gripping finish. White pepper and musky rose radish tweak the nostrils and re-emerge as an invigorating adjunct that encourages me to imagine that a profoundly intense Gruner Veltliner Smaragd had been blended-in. Nutmeg and toasted pecan complement the intense ripeness of fruit, which however never turns superficially sweet thanks in large part to its sheer freshness and to the aforementioned biting invigoration."

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Coq au vin, roasted game birds, lamb shoulder, or charcuterie and aged Comte.

Tasting Profile

Dry, mature, and structured, with dried red fruit, earth, and a mineral edge from the granite. Firm but resolving tannins and a long, savory finish. Ready to drink.
