Tasting notes
I love the interplay of warm and cool elements in this beautifully structured, medium-bodied red. Intensely mineral, the wine intensifies as it flows over your palate. A fascinating thread of spice weaves itself through this wonderful Fleurie. Long, very bright and precise finish. From organically grown grapes. Matured in young oak barrels. Drink or hold.

From parcels of vines of 70 and 40 years of age, planted in the south of Fleurie on shallow sandy soils over granite. Matured 100% in used oak barrels. Mid ruby. Gorgeous, perfumed nose of lightest red-berry fruits with just the vaguest hint of prunes. All lightness and deft, powdery tannins. Elegance and filigree. What’s not to love in wine as delicate as this? (MH)
