Anne-Sophie Dubois ‘Les Cocottes’ Fleurie 2023

An incredible expression of Gamay from Anne-Sophie Dubois, one of the rising stars of the Beaujolais region. Anne-Sophie is known for her use of traditional Burgundian fermentation methods, however this 'Les Cocottes' bottling is her nod to the Beaujolais style of carbonic maceration. And if you thought that Anne-Sophie's talents stopped at winemaking, you'll be thrilled to know that she also draws her eye-catching labels by hand!

WoW Factor: Anne-Sophie grew up in Champagne and trained in Burgundy before making her home in Beaujolais, where she established her own Domaine at the mere age of 18!

-

Varietal: 100% Gamay from certified organic vineyards in Flueire, one of the most notable crus of Beaujolais. The grapes are whole cluster fermented and uses the carbonic maceration method to achieve a lighter, fruit-forward wine. The wine spends most of it's aging time in concrete, before moving to neutral oak for a short period. It is released the Spring after the vintage and is intended to be fruit driven and drunk early & often.

Tasting Notes: Primary notes of cherries, raspberries and plum skin, accented by savory notes of black tea, earth and stony minerality mingle on the palate. While the carbonic maceration makes this wine lighter and brighter than most of Anne-Sophie's wines, it has her signature minerality and aromatic nuance to provide depth and complexity.
