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

There are few more famous wine regions in the world than Burgundy, and this special area has given much to raise the profile of fine French wines around the world. Although most commonly associated with excellent quality red wines made with the Pinot Noir varietal, this region is home to several red and white varietals and produces and impressive range of wines, from still to sparkling, dry to sweet, full bodied and aged, and from to light and drinkable. The region of Burgundy has been producing excellent wines for centuries, with much evidence to suggest that the ancient Gauls were the first to cultivate the native vines which flourish here in the warm summers, and on the excellent soil fed by local rivers. This type of heritage has led to a wine industry highly unique, deeply traditional, and with an exquisite reputation to uphold.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
