Domaine Chignard Fleurie ‘Les Moriers’ (2021) – This is one of Fleurie’s signatures, a main way its wines stand out from those of Beaujolais’s nine other crus. Cédric Chignard’s Les Moriers cuvée is not just irresistibly floral, though. Despite being light on its feet, it bears a soupçon of savory smoke as well as a spine of minerality and staying power more commonly associated with Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie’s neighbor.
What a beautiful nose of ripe cherry and red beets this Fleurie has! I love the well crafted tannins and lightness of touch on the palate (no easy combination). Keeps pumping out the red fruit aromas at the long, nobly austere finish.
