Color : A light ruby hue with violet highlights.
Nose : The nose is open, revealing juicy red fruits like cherry and raspberry, with a hint of peony. The aging process gracefully enhances the overall profile.
Palate : The palate reveals a balanced, medium-bodied texture. The mid-palate is round and supple, with well-managed tannins, finishing with a crispness and subtle spicy notes. This is a Fleurie to enjoy young, offering delightful harmony and a fresh, flavorful profile from its early youth.
Service temperature : 14°C / 57°F

James Suckling: "A prototypical Fleurie with a wealth of summer-flower aromas wrapped around a core of silky tannins and mineral freshness on the elegant, medium-bodied palate. Long, structured yet filigree finish."
