Domaine de Fa Fleurie Roche Guillon is one of the first Beaujolais releases from the Graillot brothers, Maxime and Antoine; in 2013, they ventured north from the Rhone to purchase several small vineyards in Fleurie and Saint-Amour. Currently certified organic, their parcels are being converted to biodynamics. This vineyard sits at a high-point in Fleurie, an elevation close to 1,000 feet, on a west-facing hill where it grew a boldly complex, luxuriously ripe, compelling 2015, harnessing the power of the vintage to best advantage. It’s difficult to say exactly what it tastes like, as it tastes like many things-profoundly ripe black cherries, dried Bing cherries, almond skin, sage-but, mostly, it just tastes like itself and keeps you wanting more.
Notes of profoundly ripe black cherries, dried Bing cherries, almond skin, and hints of fresh sage. It’s complex and luxurious and will drink nicely for the next 3 years.
