Beaujolais Grégoire Hoppenot

Our committee's review

Identified by our Selection Committee before the press took notice and endorsed by Olivier Poussier, named Best Sommelier in the World, Grégoire Hoppenot is a rising star in Beaujolais.

We recognized his talent from his very first vintage in 2018, and it’s a pleasure to see him fulfill his potential, joining the ranks of Beaujolais greats like Lapierre, Desvignes, and Foillard.

Grégoire Hoppenot has spent years exploring the hills of Beaujolais, selecting the finest terroirs in Morgon and Fleurie to build his estate. His approach is clear: to bring out the best in each parcel, following a Burgundian interpretation of “climats”—small vineyard plots distinguished by their unique geological and natural characteristics.

His Fleurie wines are a true tribute to Gamay—rich, expressive, and full of charm, delighting enthusiasts of the style. The estate is gaining increasing recognition, so don’t miss your chance to grab these two Selection Committee favorites!

A blend of fruit from the Roches and Garants climats, sourced from organically farmed young vines, the 2023 Red Fleurie Indigène is all about energy and purity. Made with whole-cluster fermentation and no added sulfur, it starts off reserved but is built to evolve beautifully over time. The nose is fresh and expressive, with ripe Burlat cherry and a hint of minerality that adds depth. On the palate, it’s bright and vibrant, with Gamay’s signature juicy crunch. The tannins are fine yet structured, giving it the backbone to age gracefully for at least five years. Rated 92-93/100 by the Selection Committee.

Sourced from three small parcels totaling 0.8 hectares, planted on granite sands and home to vines up to 90 years old, the 2023 Red Fleurie Les Garants is the estate’s flagship wine. This Gamay, vinified with whole clusters and without any oak influence, delivers a wine of remarkable depth—rich and elegant yet always fresh and lively. The nose is pure and vibrant, with aromas of warm cherry. On the palate, this same brightness continues, supported by natural acidity that enhances its crisp texture. Flavors of almond and red berries add complexity, giving the wine a beautifully refined and approachable character. A standout vintage, rated 93/100 by the Selection Committee.
