Gregoire Hoppenot Fleurie Origines (2020)

This is not “simple” juicy-fruit Beaujolais—it’s a wine of firm, fine structure and remarkable aromatic complexity. Give it a good chill, then pour into Burgundy stems, where the violet-laden floral nose blossoms with white spices and brambly red fruits. On the palate, it leads with juicy berries, blackcurrants, stone fruits, and rose petals, all framed with granitic minerals, silky tannins, stemmy spice, and fresh acidity.
