- TASTING NOTE: "One of the more dramatic wines in the range, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy wine evocative of crisp orchard fruit, mint, orange zest, nutmeg and vanilla pod. Racy and vibrant, with a long, saline finish, it's charming and aromatically expressive out of the gates." 93 Points - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: As one of the leading fine wine agents in Burgundy (representing DRC, Arnaud Ente and Coche-Dury among others), Fabien Duperray knows great wine, and has a good idea how to make it too. In 2007 he purchased ancient Gamay vineyards in Fleurie and Moulin-à-Vent (some over 140 years), and Chardonnay parcels in a range of Côte Maconnais appellations in 2014 (which he shares with Christophe Thibert). Farming is biodynamic, yields are very low, and his main focus is making the most balanced, age-worthy wines possible – an approach that has inspired a cult following and much critical acclaim. Fabien eschews the influence of oak in his wines, favouring stainless steel, concrete and glass for the vinification and ageing of his wines. Fabien is a force-of-nature and very confident in his methods, although rather than put his own name on the label he called his Domaine ‘Jules Desjourneys’ – Jules after the late, great Beaujolais vigneron Jules Chauvet, and Desjourneys “because I liked how it sounded next to Jules". These wines are built with the harmony and quality to age for the long-term, but – like the top quality red and white Burgundies that they call to mind – there is a drinkability to them that makes it difficult to resist pulling their corks immediately. This is a domaine which, stylistically and qualitatively, is already in the top echelon of Beaujolais and Côte Maconnais producers.
