2016  Fleurie Sacre Graal

Sacre Graal ---- "Like its Moulin-à-Vent counterpart, Duperray’s 2016 Fleurie Sacré Graal was sorted berry by berry to remove any fruit impacted by the hail to which its name punningly adverts, resulting in similarly derisory yields and equally thrilling quality. The bouquet is less complex than his Moulin-à-Vent’s but more direct, bursting with scents of Griotte cherries, rose petals and raspberries. But on the palate, the wine is if anything more reserved, revealing an immensely concentrated and seemingly infinitely layered core of lively fruit, velvety tannins and lively structuring acids, concluding with a sapid and thrillingly floral finish. Simultaneously enveloping and penetrating, this is a remarkable Fleurie and one that rivals its 2016 counterpart as among the very greatest young Beaujolais that I’ve tasted." - 97+pts, William Kelley

2016  Moulin-a-Vent Styx

Styx ---- "A cuvée that incorporates all of the Moulin-à-Vent lieux-dits that Duperray bottles separately in more plentiful years, the 2016 Moulin-à-Vent was sorted berry by berry to remove all hail-impacted fruit, a labor of love that resulted in derisory yields but remarkable quality. Unfurling in the glass with scents of dried rose petals, plums, raspberries, peonies and dark chocolate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with immense concentration, rich but powdery tannins and lively acids, displaying a strikingly complete, seamless profile and concluding with a long, expressive floral and exotic spices. Pungently floral finish. This is one of the few contemporary Beaujolais to evoke the region’s great wines from the inter- and post-War era." - 96+pts, William Kelley

2019  From Consultant Winemaker Guillaume Rouget

*From Consultant Winemaker Guillaume Rouget* 6,980 bottles of Single-varietal Gamay from Fleurie produced in 2019 from 35yr and 70yr vines. ---- The 2019 Fleurie reminds us of what it is: a floral, fine and elegant wine. Its notes, similar to the structure of a perfume, spread out around red fruits, grenadine, musk and tobacco. Its power gives way to a smooth mouth and an intense length. It is a wine that will reveal all its richness when kept for a long time.

2021  Chavignol

"From the steep slopes of the Cul de Beaujeu, this is a very fine and rather delicate expression. While initially succulent, it remains light in body and has a sense of quietness while maintaining line and structure. You can expect wild flowers, red apples, nettles and elderflower. Hell, there's even an apricotty character before the salty finish kicks in and a lightly chalky texture resides on the palate." - 94pts Vinous

2022  Chavignol

2019  Les Charmes Eponym

Les Charmes Eponym ---- "Glistening ruby. Powerful, mineral-accented cherry, black raspberry, violet and black cardamom scents pick up a spicy nuance as the wine opens up. Chewy and tightly wound on entry, offering juicy dark berry, bitter cherry and floral pastille flavors that deepen and slowly spread out through the back half. Shows firm tension and impressive energy on a very long, mineral-driven finish framed by polished, even tannins." - 94pts Vinous

2019  

"Saturated magenta. Expressive aromas of red and dark fruit preserves, star anise and potpourri pick up a smoky mineral topnote with air. Juicy and energetic in the mouth, offering concentrated raspberry and cherry liqueur, fruitcake and floral pastille flavors supported by a core of smoky minerality. At once powerful and lithe, finishing on a gently tannic note with superb, floral- and mineral-driven tenacity." - 94pts Vinous

2012  

Named after François' father, Cuvee Paul is an incredibly rare wine made from La Grande Côte and set aside as having the greatest potential for ageing. It is not made every year. A hark back to how Chavignol was made in the 40's and 50's it is made from very ripe grapes and shows gentle sweetness and incredible power.

2016  

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!

2018  Chardonnay/Folle Blanche

Extremely Limited Production. Certified Organic & Biodynamic. "Expressive nose with frank notes of iodine, fresh seaweed and lemon notes. Lively attack, wine in tension which develops in the middle of the mouth to become more polished and charming. Invigorating marine freshness counterbalanced by a beautiful volume on the palate, an explosion of yellow fruits and a basket of citron... A pure, delicate and crystalline wine. A double vinification by maceration on the skins to enhance the aging in amphorae ... A vinification by Claire Niger. A good hour in a carafe will please him in the first years of his life. Great predictable guard."

2019  

Extremely Limited Production. Certified Organic & Biodynamic, single parcel of Chardonnay planted on Orthogneiss soils. 8 months of skin maceration in amphora. Continuing his exploration of the energy exchange between wine and vessel, this amphora aged Chardonnay is a lively and textured orange wine with apricot aromas and driving acidity. Just stunning and a truly exciting addition to Fred's Vin de France lineup. ---- "Flattering and expressive nose on notes of fig, quince, apricot, dried fig, currant grapes and bitter orange peel. Clean, frank, direct attack; very dry and tight wine that develops in the middle of the mouth to become more charming and playful, smooth tannins with good volume. A deep, pure and delicate wine with chiseled fruit, notes of sweet spices, saffron. Long persistence. Leave this bottle in your cellar at least 1 or 2 years before opening... A wine vinified in maceration to enhance aging in amphorae; great predictable aging potential, long decanting recommended in the early years."

2018  

Extremely Limited Production. Certified Organic & Biodynamic, from a Chenin Blanc parcel named "Pascaline" planted in 2014 on Orthogneiss soils. Aged 10-12 months on the lees in amphora. Nofining, no filtration, no sulfur...just pure chenin! ---- A complex and powerful Chenin with real energy and focus. Matris means "mother" in latin -- a lovely nod to the pedigree of the Chenin grape in Orthogneiss terroirs. Don't sleep on this wine as it won't stick around for long! ---- "The 2018 Chenin Blanc Matris emerges from relatively young Chenin Blanc vines, planted in 2014. It was fermented in underground concrete tanks and aged 10 to 12 months in amphora. The nose is a tropical bounty. In the mouth, there’s pineapple and more pineapple: fresh, then baked, then grilled, then dipped in soy sauce. All balanced by cool minerality and a bit saline at the finish. Unique and fascinating." - Vinous
