Unsurprisingly, considering Laura's Fleurie, her "simple" Beaujolais Villages is a cut above the rest. If you remember the good old days of Beaujolais Nouveau when we looked forward to the 14th November and that deliciously grapey, Ribena-coloured youthful wine hit the shelves, then this is like that but so much better and with an extra dimension of structure to make it a joy to drink on its own but also with the meal.

Laura is a wine expert in the region. Although Laura is modest about her skills and likes to joke that she couldn’t have done anything else her enthusiasm for wine shines through in everything she makes. Much of her extensive knowledge and skill comes from her Father, but she has put her own distinctive stamp on her wine too. Her wines are made by hand, and ecologically balanced, and her ferments are spontaneous, using no fining or filtration either.
