What an achievement! A lovely juice for a lovely Fleurie to bring to the table for all your guests to enjoy. Elegant nose and precise, structured palate for a ripe, generous, greedy wine where the tannins are already polished. Very promising. A winemaker to follow closely.

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
A former négociant for the Trenel house, Grégoire Hoppenot took over Jean-Paul Champagnon's 10 ha estate in 2018 to fly solo. The parcels of young vines are certified organic, with the rest in the process of conversion.

Domaine noté (guide 2022) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the domain :
I discovered the wines of this new domaine during my tastings in Villefranche organized by Inter Beaujolais, and Hoppenot's first vintages impressed me enough to merit a special mention. If he can maintain this level of quality, importers should find their way to his door.

About the domain :
Grégoire Hoppenot is one to watch. He is one of those winegrowers who, before setting up in 2018, enriched himself with experience, such as at Domaine Chermette, Maison Trénel, and the Cave des Vignerons de Bel-Air. He has built up a top-notch parcel of vines from the best vineyards in the area. Gentle whole-cluster vinifications are followed by maturation combining vat and already-used wood, enabling the nuances to be reflected to best effect, but also retaining a digestible, fine character. The 2018s proved promising, and the 2019s are particularly successful. We look forward to discovering the next vintages.
