What do I think of Fleurie? I have enjoyed many over the decades. From one of the more delicate Beaujolais crus, I have often favored them as "food wines." The 2013 Maison L'Envoyé Château Vivier Monopole is a perfect example of such a wine, showing bright red fruit and dried herbs. It would be a fine choice with light picnic fare—mild cheeses, mortadella, and pâtés. (Tasted: March 3, 2017, San Francisco, CA)

Driven by a tireless hunt for elusive sites where Pinot Noir shines, Maison L'Envoyé traverses the globe with the intention of presenting the acme of regionality and winemaking styles. Originating in Burgundy, they pursued gilded terroir to craft this region's wine trinity: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Gamay Noir. Yet from this tenor of focus and commitment a global fellowship emerged, with terroir-driven Pinot Noir as the linchpin. Now, with winemaking footprints in Burgundy, Willamette Valley, Tasmania and Central Otago, Maison L'Envoyé champions many unsung growers who have farmed their vineyards for decades and generations, some mere feet away from more illustriously cited neighbors. This project has been a standout since its debut in 2011 including Wine & Spirits naming Maison L'Envoyé a 'Winery To Watch' in 2015.
