Wine of the Day: 2022 Anne Sophie Dubois Fleurie Lāalchimiste
If you are curious about discovering new wines, read on...
Most of you may think āBeaujolais Nouveauā when you read Beaujolais, that is not all there is to that appellation.
Read on to discover the Art of Beaujolais with Anne-Sophie Dubois!
Since 2007, Anne-Sophie has nurtured her 20-acre vineyard in the picturesque lieu-dit āLes Labouronsā in Fleurie, crafting wines that reflect the beauty of their origin.
**Organic Farming**: With a commitment to organic practices, she avoids plowing between rows and harvests by hand, bringing a Burgundian sensibility to the heart of Beaujolais.
**Winemaking Philosophy**: Anne-Sophieās approach has evolved over the years, transitioning from completely destemmed cuvĆ©es to embracing whole-cluster fermentation. Using indigenous yeasts and minimal intervention, her wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered, with just a touch of sulfur.
**Meet āAlchimisteā**: This Gamay is aged for 10 months in cement cuvees and old oak casks, this profound and elegant Beaujolais showcases the aromatics and minerality Fleurie is famous for, alongside rich dark-berry fruit and a solid tannic structure.
Gamay wines are very versatile; they can easily be paired with fish, white meat or vegetarian dishes. Enjoy!

92 Points James Suckling - āI like the violet and cassis notes here mingling with mulberries and purple plums. Itās medium-bodied, fresh and lively, with purple fruit wrapped up in silky tannins. Lots of energy. Drink or hold.ā
