Domaine Jules Desjourneys - Fleurie 2009
After having founded and run a company specialised in the distribution of wines from Burgundy, Fabien Duperray decided then to engage in a new adventure: become a winemaker. The 4,5 hectares of Domaine Jules Desjourneys are located in La-Chapelle-de-Guinchay and is manually cultivated in accordance with biodynamics principles.
He acquired old vines terroirs back in 2007 and created the Domaine Jules Desjourneys, which has been producing excellent Beaujolais wines since then, worthy of the best Grands Crus. And to produce such high-quality wines, he chose to engage his production into biodynamics. Year after year, he has been sharpening his approach, experiencing several things, questioning his very own practices and his decisions as well. He does seem to have found his way now and his cuvées definitely stand out on the Beaujolais market.
The Fleurie 2009 comes from Gamay vines planted on the clay-limestone soils of Chapelle-des-Bois and Moriers. The harvest is manual, and the fruit is carefully sorted. The vinification takes place in whole bunches, for a semi-carbonic maceration in conical and open wooden vats. Aging lasts at least 24 months in a mixture of Burgundy pieces, new demi-muids and first to second use. The wine is kept on the estate until it is ready for tasting.
Grape variety: 100% Gamay
