    Description Fleurie

    Estate

    Domaine Julien Sunier is a small, independent winery located in the Beaujolais region. Founded by Julien Sunier, a former apprentice of Nicolas Potel, the estate seeks to craft wines that authentically express their terroir. The vineyard is organically farmed and ECOCERT certified. The winemaking approach is gentle and low-intervention. The wines are known for their finesse and aromatic clarity.

    Vineyard

    The vineyard is located in Fleurie, one of the ten Beaujolais crus, known for elegant red wines. Vines are between 40 and 60 years old and grow on granite soils. Elevation and exposure across plots bring diversity to the wines. Farming encourages biodiversity and respects natural balance. Hand-harvesting is practiced across the estate.

    Wine

    This 2020 Fleurie by Domaine Julien Sunier captures the essence of the cru with freshness and harmony. It is a structured, floral and generous red wine. The use of whole-cluster fermentation allows for a pure expression of the Gamay grape. It received a score of 91 from Revue du Vin de France. The wine balances intensity with finesse.

    Vintage

    The 2020 vintage in Beaujolais was characterized by early, even ripening. Weather conditions led to great aromatic concentration. Wines show good freshness, fine tannins and optimal maturity. It is a vintage combining restrained power with elegance. Wines are appealing early but also offer good aging potential.

    Vinification & Aging

    Whole-cluster fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts, with no additives. Gentle carbonic maceration preserves natural fruitiness. Fermentation occurs in concrete vats. Aging takes place in older barrels for 8 to 10 months. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration.

    Grape Variety

    100% Gamay

    Characteristics & Tasting

    Tasting

    • Appearance: Clear, bright ruby red.

    • Palate: Soft attack, juicy texture, fine tannins and a floral, persistent finish.

    Serving
