Gregoire Hoppenot Fleurie Origines 2021 (6 Bottles) Beaujolais, France

Origines is the home for Grégoire Hoppenot’s Fleurie vineyards that are in conversion to organics. As such, his release includes a wealth of old-vine material from the lieux-dits of Les Roches, La Roilette, Les Garants and Les Moriers, with the average age of vines touching 50 years. Hoppenot harvested these vines early, which in part accounts for the vibrancy and mineral clarity in the glass. This was raised for six months in concrete following 12 days of whole-bunch fermentation with ambient yeasts.
