Jean Paul Bartier

Gamay-driven Beaujolais from Fleurie's granite terroirs.

Jean Paul Bartier produces wine in Beaujolais, the storied region of eastern France renowned for its Gamay-based reds. The winery's flagship offering, La Reine de l'Arenite Fleurie, exemplifies the appellation's characteristic style: a wine of elegance and freshness built on Gamay's natural acidity and red-fruit profile. Fleurie, one of Beaujolais's ten crus, is distinguished by granite and volcanic soils that impart mineral precision to the wines. La Reine de l'Arenite has drawn assessment from Wine Spectator and Decanter, reflecting the caliber of expression achieved here. The wine sits at the intersection of Beaujolais tradition and terroir-driven winemaking, offering a portrait of what the region's best producers can accomplish with this versatile variety.
