Jocelyne Dépardon and her brother Erick Copéret at Domaine du Point du
Jour make a superb range of Beaujolais wines. Perched on top of a hillside
to the east of the village of Fleurie, the Domaine commands superb views
over the surrounding countryside. The Point du Jour estate has been in
the family for 5 generations, and present generation Jocelyne entered
the business in 1988, to be joined later by brother Erick. The estate
has 7 hectares of vines, and the majority of the production is Fleurie
- from which the estate makes 3 different wines from 5.5 ha - but there
is also a Brouilly (1.5ha), a Morgon from a tiny 0.5 ha parcel vines at
the foot of the Côte du Py, and most recently added to the range is a
Chiroubles from a 1 ha plot acquired in 2000. The wines are very authentic
examples of each appellation.
