Color : A beautiful purple dress

Nose : The nose reveals a juicy Gamay with notes of black cherry and plum. The palette is highlighted by peppery spices. The nose has this freshness and this charcoal and mineral side that the granite terroir brings. The aging is nuanced and the whole is delicious.

Palate : The mouth reveals itself on a frank attack, the heart of the mouth imposes an alcoholic power and a certain generosity. However, it is well controlled by a framework of tannins which tends and brings a relief necessary to keep a beautiful harmony.

Service temperature : 15°C / 59°F

95/100

James Suckling: "An excellent example of the most famous vineyard site of Fleurie. Very elegant and brimming with violets vut also firmly structured on the concentrated and focused meium-bodied palate. Hard to believe this has 14% alcohol, the redcurrant and rasberry aromas, along with lively acidity, masking this completely. Develops beautifully with a little aeration in the glass."
