Tasting Note
“Les Moriers.” is an ancient, weathered site sits overlooking the village of Fleurie. Mineral-rich soils and open exposure to the sun produces Cru Beaujolais of singular intensity, restrained power, and remarkable aromatic detail. It’s truly a wine for the ages. From the moment the cork is pulled, it’s a storm of forest berries, plummy red fruit, and pretty wildflowers. But, do not mistake it for fruity, “simple Beaujolais”—on the contrary, it’s a wine of immense detail, structure, and complexity. It speaks far more loudly of Burgundian terroir than varietal Gamay fruit. Like his neighbor Clos de la Roilette, Hoppenot produces Fleurie of uncommon cellar potential, and you can rest assured that this bottle will be delivering the fireworks for at least 5-8 years to come.
