Clos de la Roilette (Coudert), Fleurie "La Griffe du Marquis", 2023
Fernand Coudert purchased the poorly maintained Clos de la Roilette in 1967 and replanted its 9 hectares in Fleurie. His son Alain, now joined by grandson Alexis, has become one of Beaujolais's most consistent producers. "La Griffe du Marquis" honors Alain's parents, nicknamed "Le Marquis et La Marquise" by their village. The fruit comes from the estate's oldest vines, planted in the 1930s, on clay and manganese soils atypical for Fleurie—closer to neighboring Moulin-a-Vent in character. Vinified traditionally with whole clusters and native yeasts, then aged a full year in Burgundian barriques before release. A serious, structured Fleurie with depth and age-worthiness. Pairs beautifully with roasted game or mushroom dishes.
