Description
A hugely exciting new range of Cru Beaujolais specially brought in to give us all a vinous Christmas treat, but don’t wait for Christmas.
Fleurie (along with Moulin-à-Vent and Morgon) are my favourite villages in Beaujolais and to repeat an often-told tale; I tasted over 120 different Fleurie producers at the Paris Wine Trade Fair and Laura’s was my stand-out by a long way.
Jean-Michel Dupré’s Morgon at £17 a bottle represents my best memory of what a top Crus Beaujolais should taste like. Then along comes Laura’s Fleurie which is like a turbo-charged version. So full of fruit and powerful “parma violet” flavours and with a structure which comes from eight months aging in large wooden casks before bottling. I can’t think of a finer example of Cru Beaujolais which can be drunk now and which will also age beautifully for a few more years yet.
Drink this with a wide variety of foods; rich fish dishes, meats, cheeses. Maybe just avoid anything too spicey.
