A Fleurie from old vine Gamay in Beaujolais, light and silky with vibrant red fruit and that unmistakable floral lift that makes Fleurie the most elegant cru in the region.
Tasting Notes
Bright ruby red in the glass. The nose is beautifully perfumed with aromas of fresh red cherry, raspberry, violet, and a delicate floral lift typical of old vine Gamay from the Fleurie cru. On the palate it is light to medium bodied, silky, and juicy with good natural acidity and a clean, refreshing finish. Beaujolais at its most seductive.
