Tasting notes
Commented by Olivier Poussier:
Color : A beautiful ruby color
Palate : The fruit is juicy with beautiful maturity, a sunny touch, without being stewed. Red fruits enliven this palette with burlat cherry, crushed strawberry and some notes of blackberries. The whole is readable with a spicy touch. The Chapelle des bois terroir often offers us this mouth profile: round and velvety. A luscious overall taste with polished tannins. A few fine bitters finalize the tasting and remind us that we are on granite.
Service temperature : 59°F

James Suckling : "This beautiful Fleurie has stacks of black raspberry fruit, but is anything other than loud. It gracefully tiptoes over your palate. Barely medium-bodied, but such a wonderful elegance right through the very long, filigreed finish."
