Domaine Jonathan Pey Fleurie
"Fonfotin" Cru

A velvety, high-toned old-vine Gamay from very rare and historic "Selection Massale" vines which most purely reflect this unique terroir and altitude.

Origine

• Certified organically-grown (spring 2026)
• Ultra-high-elevation estate vineyard in Fleurie, 1,550' altitude (470m)
• Planted in 1954, these 70+ year-old head-pruned vines struggle in the barren, low-fertility eroded pink granite soil in the lieu-dit of "Fontotin"
• High-density planting (10,400 vines/hectare) on an insanely steep 45% southeast slope
• Very rare and historic "Selection Massale" vines which most purely reflect this unique terroir and altitude

90 POINTS
"Dusty cherry and lavender notes show delicious ripeness and purity, with a round, polished feel to the palate. Floral and expressive, with good energy, offering savory, woodsy elements and the barest kiss of mocha. The finish is racy and pure, with chiseled acidity and graphite verve. Outstanding."
- Wine Spectator, February 2026

Tasting Notes

Because this is a minimal intervention, naturally-made red wine, it may throw a harmless natural deposit. Deep ruby-red, intensely aromatic, this velvety, high-toned old-vine Gamay has a nervy backbone and cellaring potential of up to 10 years. Serve lightly chilled 54°F/14°C. Cheeses, roasted meats, anything umami.
