Julien Sunier Fleurie Magnum 2018
$155.00 inc. GST
1500ml bottle. (Must be ordered in quantities of 6)
Evocatively-named, Fleurie epitomises all that is good about the region with its perfumed, silky, moreish style. Its 800ha of vineyards produce some of the finest, popular and most expensive wines in the region. As its name suggests, this quintessential Beaujolais is fresh, floral, fragrant and feminine.
Julien’s approach in the winery is hands-off: he uses only natural yeast, minimal SO2 and rarely filters his wines, which are characterised by scintillating floral aromatics, great freshness, and a sense of place and energy. He is now well-established as one of the region’s star producers, part of a wave of talented, ambitious young winemakers (many of those dedicated to organic viticulture) who are today redefining how Beaujolais is perceived.

“A beautifully defined nose, offering such intense, ripe and pure red and dark berries and attractive, red-floral perfume. Spices and dry stones, too. The palate has seamless build and smoothly fluid tannins, carrying fresh berry and red-plum flavors long. Drink or hold.” – 93 Points, James Suckling.

These wines take a little time to open up, and come out of the blocks a little stinky, as it were. But then…
Pumps out spice and violet, cherry pie, raspberry, and a stony/earthy bass. Medium-bodied, juicy ripe fruit, silky and silty tannin, freeze dried red berries, perfume and ‘mineral’ feel. Acidity is cool and fresh, and there’s a whole lot of perfume, pepper and sweet herb on a long and stony finish. Beautiful.
