100% Gamay. "Cuvée Christie" comes from two parcels totaling 3 hectares near the village of Fleurie. They are owned by the Coudert family but not part of the original Clos de la Roilette estate vineyard, which is notable mainly because the soils are more typical of Fleurie, with more granite vs. those of the Clos. The vines are 30-40 years old. As for the estate vineyard, the farming is sustainable and all vineyard work is by hand; the wines are made identically as well. Vinification is traditional, semi-carbonic Beaujolais style. The whole clusters are harvested by hand and fermented spontaneously with native yeasts in open-top concrete tanks. Maceration lasts about 10 days (shortest of all of their Fleuries), with a submerged cap rather than punchdowns. The wine is aged in large oak foudres from 80 to 100 years old for 9 months before bottling. Sulfur use is quite minimal.
Crafted specifically for the US market and aged in 60% foudre, the 2023 Fleurie Cuvée Christie opens with a nose of bright red cherries, pomegranates, lilacs and sweet soil. The full-bodied fleshy wine is supported with a core of firm tannins that give it an incisive trajectory, toned with clarifying elements of white pepper and confit oranges on the back end and finish.
