Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
An even stronger black tea smokiness than accrued (from cask) to its 2008 counterpart caps the concentrated black fruits in Desjourneys’s 2009 Fleurie, which I tasted in its final assemblage comprised principally of Les Moriers, along with fruit from younger vines in La Chapelle and a touch of La Madone. Rich and polished, with its fine tannins sublimated, this wine’s strong salinity – allied to fruit pit, chalk dust, and iodine – render its entrancingly long finish irresistibly mouthwatering and invigorating. I expect it to be worthy of six or more years’ rapt attention.

Fabien Duperray has been distributing some of the finest estates of burgundy in France 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 excrutiating precision. From his
biodynamically 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."
