Extraordinary Fleurie from 80+ year old vines, planted in a section of Fleurie adjacent to Moulin-à-Vent called “Champagne” by the local growers. Patrick Brunet always vinifies this as if it were red Burgundy: in open vats, with little-to-no employment of the carbonic maceration that turns off so many wine drinkers. If you’ve never had the treat of experiencing true, honest Cru Beaujolais, there’s no better place to start than with this legendary wine, which should also age incredibly well.
