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. ... More details

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.
Winery
Indigenous yeast fermentations in concrete vats at low temperatures, to preserve fresh fruit flavors and a delicate tannic structure. After fermentations are complete, fruit is slowly pressed, over a 24 hour period, using an ancient vertical press Julien acquired in the Côte D’Or. Aged for up to 11 months in 3 - 9 year old Burgundy barrels so the charming fruit and granitic soil flavors aren't lost.

Region: Burgundy

The region of Burgundy has become synonymous with high quality red wines, but in actual fact the region consistently produces a wide variety of fine wines of many different styles, rigorously protected by French wine laws designed to keep reputations and quality at a very high level. The region benefits greatly from a warm and sunny summer climate, which, coupled with the excellent quality soils which typify the region, and centuries of experience and expertise, has led to the region being known all over the world for the excellence of its produce. The majority of grapevines grown here are of the Pinot Noir varietal, which has helped Burgundy become known as the definitive region for elegant and smooth red wines, but Chardonnay grapes and many others are also grown in abundance and used to make both still and sparkling wines.
