London Wine Fair : Cru Beaujolais 2015

27 April 2017

New to the market, the 2015 is an exemplary vintage where an excellent growing season has helped deliver wines which combine ripeness with refreshing acidity. To mark the quality of the 2015 vintage Henry Fessy have bottled a wider range of wines in magnum, a perfect size of cellaring and for larger dinners and events.

Henry Fessy work sustainably in the vineyard and follow a winemaking philosophy that allows the true nature of each appellation to be expressed in the finished wine. Winemaker Laurent Chevalier follows traditional winemaking practices, fermenting and ageing in tank without carbonic maceration.

Wines on tasting:

Brouilly

Henry Fessy is based within the Brouilly appellation and is the wine for which they are most well-known. The company has seven and a half hectares of vineyards which have an average age of 50 years old. The vines grow in granite and schist soils. The Brouilly appellation is named after Mont Brouilly and includes six communes. It is the most southerly of the Beaujolais Cru.

Morgon

Henry Fessy owns two and half hectares of vineyard in Morgon, which have an average age of 50 years old. The vines grow on granite and schist. One hectare is on the Côte de Py hillside and the other one and half hectares within the flatter Les Corcelettes vineyard. The Côte de Py wine brings structure and Les Corcelettes a juicy fruitier element to the final wine.

Moulin-à-Vent

Henry Fessy owns two and a half hectares of vineyard in Moulin-à-Vent which have an average age of 50 years old. The vines grow on crumbly pink granite, manganese rich soils which helps to create fuller bodied wines with extended ageing potential. Moulin-à-Vent is sometimes known as the king of the crus.

Château des Reyssiers Régnié

Henry Fessy have 14 hectares at the Chateau des Reyssiers where vineyards have been established for more than 300 years. The combination of undulating hills, altitude, exposition and soil type make this an exceptional location to grow Gamay. For this wine, winemaker Laurent Chevalier selects the best grapes and produces a full and expressive wine. Régnié is sometimes known as the prince of the crus.

Château des Labourons Fleurie

Henry Fessy acquired the Château des Labourons vineyard in 2011. It’s a prime site on the hillside above the village of Fleurie where their 18 hectares are planted at an altitude of 350-400 metres above sea level on thin soils composed of igneous rock. Mainly pale pink granite that breaks down into coarse sand and creates blockfields. The former owners of this vineyard the de Lescure family always aged their wines in wood and so to maintain this tradition Laurent Chevalier matures 10% of the wine in oak barrels (5% new, 5% one year old).
