Managing partner Frédéric Jametton calls his Fleurie La Dime ‘our own Cros Parantoux’ (a revered premier cru vineyard in Burgundy’s Vosne-Romanée). That’s big talk, but this is indeed an exceptional Beaujolais. There are substantial aromas of ripe cherries and violets with notes of minerals, smoke and spice. The barrel ageing comes through here, but if you age it as you should, this will integrate. The texture is elegant and fresh, yet supremely lush and deep. The grapes are from 0.23ha of old vines at the foot of the famed La Madone vineyard; they are completely destemmed, slowly fermented, and aged 10 months in barrel, one third new.
