Place 🌎: Fleurie, Beaujolais, France

Story 📖: Anne-Sophie Dubois is one of the most exciting winemakers in Beaujolais today, bringing a Burgundian sensibility to her organically farmed vineyards in Fleurie. Raised in Champagne but drawn to Gamay’s expressive nature, she works with meticulous care in both the vineyard and cellar while favoring destemmed grapes and more ’standard’ Burgundian style fermentations. 

BUT, ‘Les Cocottes’ is her most playful cuvée, meaning carbonic maceration and a gentle extraction. That leaves us with a bright, juicy Fleurie meant to be consumed early. It showcases pretty aromatics and vibrant fruit with a delicate touch. It’s bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulfur, capturing the energy and charm of Beaujolais at its best.

Pairing 🍽: Croque monsieur.
