The 2020 Chateau des Jacques Fleurie Beaujolais is a red wine made from the Gamay varietal.

The wine has an alcohol content of 14.0% and is sealed with a cork.

This vintage has garnered excellent reviews from notable wine critics. Wine Enthusiast awarded the wine a score of 93, praising its complexity and potential for further development. Roger Voss, writing for Wine Enthusiast on May 1, 2023, described the wine as having "ripe black fruits and layers of tannins." He noted that the wine is "still developing into a ripe, floral wine" and highlighted its fullness, fruit intensity, and robust structure. Voss recommended that the wine be enjoyed starting from 2024.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also provided a positive review, giving the wine a score of 91. In his review dated August 4, 2022, WK commented on the wine's aromatic profile, which includes "sweet cherries, raspberries, plums, and licorice." He described the 2020 Fleurie as "medium-bodied, rich, and concentrated," with "tangy acids, powdery tannins, and a nicely balanced profile." The wine is a blend, composed of approximately three-quarters from the lieu-dit Bel-Air and one-quarter from Grille Midi.

In summary, the 2020 Chateau des Jacques Fleurie Beaujolais is a well-regarded wine with strong reviews. It features ripe fruit flavors, a solid tannic structure, and a balanced profile. Both reviews suggest that the wine has significant aging potential, and it's recommended to start enjoying it from 2024 onwards.
