Domaine Julien Sunier Fleurie 2023
- In stock, ready to ship
Julien Sunier is one of the most acclaimed names in Beaujolais, having wowed critics and consumers alike since his first vintage in 2008. A dedicated proponent of sustainable agro-ecology, his wines are defined by their elegance and striking sense of place. His Fleurie is sourced from a 1.7ha plot of Gamay vines, ranging in age from 25-60 years old. Carbonically macerated and aged in used Burgundy barrels, this red impresses with its lovely and pure aromatics of violets, red berries, and granitic minerality. A shining example of what 'natural' wine can be, this is a sophisticated and complex red with just a touch of wildness around the edges.
94/100 - A delicious, well-balanced, subtly fruited and well-driven Fleurie with aromas of sour cherries, currants, wild herbs and some peppercorns. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and texture. Velvety, well rounded, harmonious and seductive, with a flavorful finish. - Kevin Davy, JamesSuckling.com
