A Flatiron favorite for years, Julien Sunier makes some of the most refined Cru Beaujolais around, drawing on cool, higher-elevation sites that give his Gamay a Pinot-like tension and florality. That comes honestly: Sunier got his start working for Burgundy legend Christophe Roumier before setting up in Beaujolais, where he farms naturally and vinifies in traditional semi-carbonic fashion. This is the Fleurie, the most perfumed of the crus, and at well over a decade old it has shed its youthful restraint entirely. It's a mature bottle now from a private collection, so expect a wine that has softened into its secondary, savory side rather than primary fruit. Decant gently and drink soon.

More about Julien Sunier

Julien Sunier abandoned a corporate future to make natural wine in Beaujolais, and the results are deft, clean, and haunting. His Cru Beaujolais—Morgon, Fleurie, Régnié—speak to higher elevation and old vines. Long macerations in neutral wood yield wines that feel ethereal but built to age.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken with herbs, mushroom risotto, charcuterie, or seared duck breast.

Tasting Profile

A mature, savory Gamay that has traded primary fruit for earthy, dried-floral, forest-floor notes. Light to medium-bodied with bright acidity and soft, resolved tannins. Delicate and perfumed; best enjoyed now.
