Julien Sunier is one of the rising stars of Beaujolais. He makes wines naturally from organically managed vineyards, and this is a brilliant expression of Gamay.<\/p>\n
It’s from a single 2.4 hectare vineyards named ‘Niagara’. It’s a steep slope that can only be managed manually (he quips on his excellent website<\/a> that those who work here are in top physical condition), and the soils are granite. It’s just such a fine, supple, detailed wine. This is why I love Gamay.<\/p>\n Julien Sunier Fleurie 2013 Beaujolais, France<\/strong> Find this wine with wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n Julien Sunier is one of the rising stars of Beaujolais.

\n12% alcohol. Aromatic and fine with floral, peppery raspberry fruit with some red cherries, and just a hint of earth. The palate is perfectly poisde: it’s not heavy, but it doesn’t lack concentration, with fine red cherries, pot pourri notes and a fine peppery spiciness, as well as some stony mineral notes. It’s a wine that combines joyful drinkability with complexity and a bit of structure, and given careful storage, I reckon this could develop. 94\/100 (UK availability Berry Bros & Rudd and Roberson, \u00a322)<\/p>\n\n
