Origines is the home for Grégoire Hoppenot’s Fleurie vineyards that are in conversion to organics. As such, his release includes a wealth of old-vine material from the lieux-dits of Les Roches, La Roilette, Les Garants and Les Moriers, with the average age of vines touching 50 years. Hoppenot harvested these vines early, which in part accounts for the vibrancy and mineral clarity in the glass. This was raised for six months in concrete following 12 days of whole-bunch fermentation with ambient yeasts.

Expert Rating

90/100 Points Robert Parker

“Bursting with aromas of raspberries, petals and sweet spices, the 2021 Fleurie Origines is medium-bodied, satiny and fleshy, with lively acids and a saline finish. Melting and fine-boned, it's an ethereal, refreshing wine that's already drinking well.”
William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

About the winery:

Gregoire Hoppenot decided to start his own business at Les Roches in Fleurie, after years of experience in the wine business. His first wines were launched in 2018, and with success. His domain includes two slopes with very different characteristics, and between those slopes there is also a lot of diversity, variations in geology, aspects and exposures, and altitudes. He has five different 'climates' across the two slopes. The grapes for this wine come from the vineyards Les Garants and Les Roches. The first is really typical of Fleurie, poor granite soils with quartz are clearly visible here and have a special effect on the vines. The vines in Les Roches are deeper in the ground and dominated by granite and sand. The harvest is entirely manual in order to select the best grapes directly in the vineyard.

Named ‘Discovery of the Year’ in 2021’s Revue des Vins de France, Grégoire Hoppenot installed himself in Fleurie following two years as director of the Chapoutier-owned Maison Trénel in Beaujolais. Grégoire has leased nine hectares, along with a small plot in Morgon, which comprises several enviable parcels: Les Moriers, Les Garants, Poncié, La Roilette and Les Roches in Fleurie, and Corcelette in Morgon. Grégoire is meticulous and gentle in both vineyards and cellar. He describes his winemaking as ‘intuitive’, using indigenous yeasts and low sulphur, and practises organic farming in the vineyard.
