Winemaker Description
An elegant, almost Burgundian Beaujolais from one of the region's young superstars, Anne Sophie Dubois. She makes the wine without carbonic fermentation, leading to a more powerful, if less playful, showing of red fruit, granitic minerality, and considerable tannin. Enjoy it with roast chicken with root vegetables, mushroom pastas, or lean pork dishes.
Les Labourons is the name of the lieu dit in Fleurie. In 2017, after recieving her organic certification, she wanted to rename the wine and have a new label drawn to showcase the new chapter in her winemaking.
Despite the label and name change, Anne Sophie's approach to vinification is the same as vintages past. It is 100% destemmed and aged for around 13 months in 228L neutral oak barrels.

Prior Vintage 2021 |
Vinous 90 points | The 2021 Fleurie Les Labourons has a very pure and pretty bouquet that blossoms in the glass: black cherries, wilted iris petals, hints of blood orange - this is wonderful. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly candied entry. It's fleshy for a Fleurie, maybe just missing the delineation on the finish that Dubois can achieve in a more benevolent season. Yet this remains a quite delicious proposition. Drinking 2024 - 2032 — Neal Martin
