Tasting notes Domaine Jules Desjourneys Moulin à Vent Les Styx 2015

Red wine Biodynamic.

Domaine Jules Desjourneys Moulin à Vent Les Styx 2015 is a mature wine, a real gem. The nose is very intense and spicy, with rich aromas reminiscent of roses, liquorice, black cherries and tar. The palate is harmonious. Really quite something. Full-bodied and well-balanced. Totally exceptional.

About Domaine Jules Desjourneys Moulin à Vent Les Styx

When his wines have finished fermentation, he intervenes as little as possible. It is then that Fabien Duperray simply observes and lets the wine evolve. As a general rule, they usually wait two winters before bottling their wines – something that is not the norm in Beaujolais – however, what he seeks is to make his wines become great with time. This philosophy starts with old vineyards at the Moulin-à-Vent AOC, in the south of Burgundy (in central-east France), where for him the work in the vineyard is the most important aspect. The Domaine Jules Desjourneys Moulin à Vent Les Styx red wine is completely biodynamic, with as little intervention as possible.

In this appellation, where some 71 lieux dits are registered, it has been found that each of these plots has its own personality. A blend of all of them is what Fabien Duperray has achieved by combining the best gamay grapes from each of these plots in one cuvée. In this way, Domaine Jules Desjourneys Moulin à Vent Les Styx is a faithful reflection of the mixture of the granitic soils of the north with the clay soils of the south, which end up uniting in a combination of sediments with sand, limestone and marl.

For Fabien Duperray, all the work has to be done in the vineyard. Otherwise, by intervening in the cellar, he would be embellishing the wine. For this reason, Domaine Jules Desjourneys Moulin à Vent Les Styx ferments with the minimum possible intervention, only making sure that this process is carried out with the healthiest grapes (previously selected). Likewise, at Domaine Jules, the wines of the Moulin-à-Vent AOC, are ‘marathon wines’ that withstand the passing of time and show their best after long aging, both in tanks made of different materials (Duperry abandoned wood years ago) and in the bottle.

According to Fabien Duperray, 90% of its production is sold outside France, where the wines are more appreciated for their taste than for their name. Thanks to Duperry, the Beaujolais region has been revalued, putting it on a par with other great wines of Burgundy, where perhaps the name has weighed more heavily than the quality in the glass.
