Jules Desjourneys Mâcon-Prissé En Chailloux 2017
Mâconnais, Burgundy, FranceFabien Duperray is a well known wine agent name, representing some of the finest Bourgogne estates, including DRC, Arnaud Ente, and Coche-Dury among others. However, he wanted to try his hand at making amazing wine, not just selling it. In 2007 he purchased gnarly old Gamay vineyards in Fleurie and Moulin-à-Vent (some 140+ years old), and he added some Chardonnay parcels from select Côte Macconais sites in 2014, which he shares with Christophe Thibert. Farming is biodynamic, everything is done by hand (tractor-free), and yields are low. The name of the winery pays homage to Jules Chauvet, the winemaker, scientist, and Beaujolais native who is often credited for launching the natural wine movement. From a gently sloping site, with slightly gravelly clay loam soil, this was native fermented and spent time in tank. Interesting flick of reduction on this, sharpening a pure core of green apple, lemon blossom, and rock salts. Great length across a lingering, buzzy finish.Tasted: 09 March 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $47.00 | 750ml | consignment |
