Tasting notes
The 2021 Fleurie comes from vines on granitic soil located at 470m altitude, 1.7-hectares split over two parcels. The élevage is for 9 months with no racking. This has a slight reduction on the nose at the moment, but you can still detect beguiling red berry fruit, wilted rose petals and hints of kirsch - a little Pinot Noir like. The palate is well-balanced with fine tannins. Nicely chiseled, fresh and poised with a twist of sour cherry towards the finish. Excellent. (NM)

Still a bit yeasty on the nose but also with plenty of wild strawberry fruit, this manages to be daringly light (only 11.5% alcohol) and have an elegant structure in which the gentle tannins are already neatly integrated. Long fresh, wet stone finish. From the Grand Pre and La Tonne sites in Fleurie. From organically grown grapes. Matured in cask for nine months, then bottled unfiltered. Drink or hold.
