100% Gamay. Nouveau from a master. Talk about farm to table. The grapes for this wonderful little wine were picked on October 30. 2013 & we enjoyed a bottle just yestarday afternoon. The purest juice. Organic, unsulfured, unfiltered. Delicious, well-structured quaffable stuff! If you can wait, it opens up nicely if decanted. This is no ordinary Nouveau; this will still be singing a year from now.

2007  

712 cases produced. Fabien Duperray has been distributing some of the finest estates of burgundy for over 25 years, but until 2007 he had no vineyards of his own. He finally had the opportunity to acquire some small parcels of very old vines in Fleurie and Moulin-a-Vent in some truly special terroirs, and the results are nothing short of stunning. Fabien tends to every detail in the process with excruciating precision. From his biodynamically, certified organically farmed vines, to the hand pulling of weeds, the custom made barrels, the long elevage of 3 years, right down to the finest corks one can buy, the quality here at every turn is more akin to the most famous estates in the Cote d'Or. The wines are very limited but once tasted, you will understand what led David Schildknecht to write upon tasting the Desjourneys wines for the first time "The big story is some of the most remarkable Beaujolais wines of my experience, and perhaps ever rendered."

Very Limited, Organic Production -- Justin's first solo Bojo is as juicy and joyful as it gets! Upon its release, his father and friends were said to consume a few magnums on the back patio overlooking the Clos de la Grand'Cour. It's an easy sipper and an exciting first effort from the next generation. Making papa proud!

2016  Beaujolais Villages

It is a step up in structure and concentration from its baby brother Les Bullands. An exciting addition from this exciting young vigneron.

" Some very stony and flinty aromas with graphite. Red and dark plums, too. Smells fresh and very complex already. The palate has great density and a fine, compressed tannin texture, as well as a very focused finish. Spiced black cherries and blackberries, cassis and dark chocolate to close. Short carbonic maceration and juice is racked off during the carbonic process. A captivatingly powerful but focused Morgon. No Côte du Puy due to the hail in 2017. Best from 2020. " - 94pts JS

100% Chenin Blanc. Chenin is among the most versatile of grapes, making everything from zesty sparklers to the driest of dry table wines to the most unctuously sweet dessert wines. Jasnières is a rich, aromatic white made in tiny quantities in France's Loire Valley. Pascal Janvier never planned on becoming a vigneron. Though his parents had vineyard land of their own, they did not make their own wine. Instead, he went to school to learn butchery. However, Pascal made a sudden about-face at the age of thirty and decided to study winegrowing. The Coteaux du Loir appellation includes 16 communes in Sarthe and six in Indre-e-Loire. The Jasnières appellation is included within this area, but exclusively in the communes Lhomme and Ruillé-sur-Loir. Wines from Jasnières are lauded for their steeliness in youth and ability to improve and transform with age. Pascal Janvier's version has intense aromas of white flowers, mineral and stone fruit. On the palate it is dry and medium-bodied, notes of honey, dried fruits and minerality. "Silex" refers to the flinty soils of the region.

2014  Domaine des Vignes du Tremblay

Domaine des Vignes du Tremblay - "The Cru Beaujolais of Moulin-à-Vent inherited its name from the stoic windmill that has overlooked these vineyards since the 15th century. In the same silent, consistent manner, Paul Janin and his family have tended their Gamay vines for generations. Paul's son, Eric, is very much a product of this place; he is a fourth-generation grower, overseeing the fruit from its inception in the vineyard to its final resting place in the bottle. The grapes are farmed using lutte raisonnee methods, and the flaky, pink granite soil produces structured, powerful wines that gain even more character as they age. Bright, firm and earthy, they are reminiscent of the great terroirs of the Côte de Nuit. The Janins' traditional wines have proved to be as steadfast as the Moulin-à-Vent itself."
