Henry Fessy Fleurie 2007
About thirty years ago reds from the Beaujolais went out of fashion in the English-speaking world, they were dismissed as being too insubstantial, and largely replaced in our favor by full bodied fruit bombs from various parts of the New World. Now some of these are making a comeback. This bottle delivers a nice blend of cherry and plum flavors, without being in the least too thin. It's undoubtedly near the end of its useful life, and I can imagine opening the occasional bottle that's gone bad. This, I feel sure, is the reason for its spectacularly low price of $7.99. Let it breathe for a couple of hours and hope for the best.

Found your interesting blog while searching the web for more info on the 2007 Henry Fessy Fleurie. Like you, we find the PA System a total sham, but are also always searching for gems in the $10-$12 range. Will be reading your blog regularly!
Thank you for your kind words, sometimes I have the feeling that noone out there reads what I write. In spite of recent events, I don't think we'll get rid of the P.L.C.B. in my lifetime.
Just picked up a bottle at that price yesterday. After reading your comments today, I hope I "luck out." Thanks for the info.
Well, it hasn't "gone bad," but it was somewhat disappointing. Who knows whether I would have felt differently a year or two ago.
