Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
While the corresponding La Chapelle des Bois appeared from cask to have had an edge on Duperray’s 2010 Fleurie Les Moriers Tres Vieilles Vignes, from bottle this dramatically different wine – which he describes as "the nose of Fleurie with the palate of Moulin-a-Vent" – is no less impressive than its immediate sibling. Deeply concentrated plum and cherry fruit are allied to iodine-tinged saline, sweet shrimp shell reduction intimated already in the nose and serving for saliva gland-milking in an amazingly thrusting, gripping finish. White pepper and musky rose radish tweak the nostrils and re-emerge as an invigorating adjunct that encourages me to imagine that a profoundly intense Gruner Veltliner Smaragd had been blended-in. Nutmeg and toasted pecan complement the intense ripeness of fruit, which however never turns superficially sweet thanks in large part to its sheer freshness and to the aforementioned biting invigoration. I would plan on following this at least through 2020.

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."
