Les Cocottes is a Gamay from Fleurie in Beaujolais. Anne-Sophie Dubois began making it with the 2015 vintage as a different side of her Fleurie. It is made from 100% whole clusters using carbonic maceration, unlike her other Fleuries, which are fully destemmed and fermented in a Burgundian style. It is released the spring after the vintage and is meant to be fruit driven and drunk early and often.
Anne-Sophie Dubois grew up in Champagne and learned her trade in Burgundy before settling in Fleurie, drawn to Gamay and to Beaujolais, where a young vigneron can still afford vineyards. Her domaine covers eight hectares in the heart of Fleurie, farmed organically, on granitic soils. Most plots are old, and the oldest vines are over 60 years old. In the winery she stays out of the way.
