FEATURES
🏰 The 2012 Jules Desjourneys Fleurie Les Moriers comes from a producer renowned for elevating Beaujolais wines to a level of quality comparable to top Burgundy labels. Fabien Duperray, the owner, applies biodynamic farming and minimal intervention, focusing on terroir-driven wines. The Les Moriers vineyard, with its open hillside sector overlooking Moulin-à-Vent, contributes to a wine that is evolving towards greater finesse, smoothness, fruit, and indulgence. The 2012 vintage is described as having a pale garnet colour, with aromas of dried cranberries, forest floor, cedar, pencil lead, and dried cherry. On the palate, it is dry with medium-high acidity, medium tannins, and a medium body, leading to a long aftertaste. 【 Elevating Beaujolais to Grand Cru quality with biodynamic precision 】. This Fleurie reveals an intense, deep ruby colour, with aromas of black cherries, sweet pepper, violet, and iris. It exudes harmony, combining aromatic intensity and freshness.
🍴 This elegant Fleurie is a versatile food wine. It pairs beautifully with chicken and turkey dishes, especially roasted or grilled preparations. Consider charcuterie, lighter red meat dishes like pork tenderloin, or mushroom-based pasta. For an Eastern pairing, it would complement Cantonese roast pork or delicate dim sum.
🥂 Ideal for a sophisticated casual dinner, a gathering with friends, or a wine club tasting focused on high-quality Beaujolais. Its balance and expressive fruit make it enjoyable in its youth, but it also possesses good ageing potential.
