Les Labourons Fleurie Gamay
Fleurie, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
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. (Neal Martin, Vinous, May 2023)

Kind of a lightweight, but strikes a nice balance between natty Bojo energy and cerebral Burgundian poise.

Definitely more grippy than the typical Beaujolais. Nose of stewed cranberry and ripe fruit, something savory and meaty, fennel and star anise. Mineral, floral, red fruits all there on the palette with a hint of mint. Layered, nuanced.

Ripe strawberry, mineral, med + acid, not much tannin 👍

I want to love this beyond words. It’s just … not quite there.

Color: deep purple bloody red, perfect juicy just-bitten red. Smell: Juicy raspberries and strawberries freshly crushed in your hands. Salty ocean air. Taste: tangy tart fresh raspberries. Bitter dark chocolate. High acid. Floral...but not like roses. Overripe plum.
