2020 Chapelle des Bois “Grand Pre,” Fleurie, Beaujolais, France

Immediately overflows with soft, beautiful exotic red and yellow fruits that comfortably rest on fresh, striking acidity. All of Jean-Louis’ wines are made with whole clusters, zero extraction and natural fermentations. They are made from a combination of nearly perfect farming and zen-like observation. The elevage of this wine is 60% in stainless steel and 40% in futs de chene (barrel). A serious and complex, yet accessible offering from one of Beaujolais’ greatest crus.
