Lapierre Rarity: 2015 Lapierre Morgon Cuvée Marcel Lapierre

The 2015 Beaujolais are difficult to find in quantity. When it comes to Cuvée Marcel, things are especially ugly. A mere trickle of Cuvée Marcel arrived in the U.S.  At any given time in the past six months, you'd only find a listing or two for the wine.

Fleurie In Unmediated Purity:
2013 Foillard Fleurie

Foillard captures the beauty and delicacy of Fleurie in a way that few others achieve. Foillard is famous for making some of the greatest examples of Morgon. Still, his much less available Fleurie stands dangerously close to being the Platonic ideal of Fleurie.

Rare Métras
2015 Métras Moulin-à-Vent VV

In 2006, Yvon Métras purchased a mere 0.6ha of Moulin-à-Vent. Across the board Métras is scarce, but the Moulin-à-Vent is painfully so. The 2015 was especially difficult to find in quantity. In Beaujolais, it was warm and dry, which, along with winds, decreased yields significantly.

Côte du Py Lapierre Style:
2015 Lapierre Morgon Cuvée Camille

Painfully Rare, Extreme Fleurie:
2015 Métras Fleurie VV

Nailing down decent quantities of 2015 Métras has been an adventure. Métras is always difficult to find, but it's been incredibly difficult in 2015. Just to highlight the rarity, there are only two other listings for the Fleurie VV in the country.

Irresistible Deliciousness: 2015 Dutraive Fleurie Chapelle Des Bois

Just over a week ago, we offered Dutraive's 2015 Grand'Cour VV. It sold out in a flash. Today, we turn to Dutraive's Chapelle Des Bois. Chapelle des Bois shows a very different dimension to Dutraive's style. Chapelle des Bois and Grand' Cour can be viewed as bookends. If Grand' Cour is "Fleurie with teeth" in its structure and power, Chapelle des Bois is more delicate and feminine.
