Sipping Fine Wine

8.9

Ruby red color with aromas of ripe red fruits and floral spice, aged in concrete for 6-8 months and bottled with a light, non-sterile filtration and minimal sulfur. On the palate flavors of black raspberry and black cherry with floral notes. Medium+ finish, fine tannins, ending with fruit and spice. Good value! — 25 days ago

From White Horse Wine and Spirits, I think? Cherry cola, liquorice, oak or cedar, maybe some grass too. Fresh and young. — 8 months ago

I love this every year. Always expressive and structured. 2017 has apples and pears and brioche. Bonus points for sweet cinnamon and baked apples with lasting power. — 5 years ago

Loaded with Brett but not like a Hipster sour beer brewer purposely adding Brett but a 3rd generation Normandy cider making family using the same old barrels Brett. Pretty interesting and funky. I'm liking it more and more as I drink it. — 10 years ago

Brief impressionistic notes from memory: bright, fresh, juicy and lively. Can’t remember the year (update: my brother told me it’s a 2024). — 24 days ago

Light garnet color with a small ruby core. Aromas of wet soil, red berries and dried rose petals. Flavors of raspberries, red currants, mushrooms and savory spices. Long lasting finish. Gripping acidity with very silky tannins. Light bodied and quite savory but still full of finesse. Needs a bit of aeration to fully open up. Solid value and nice mid-week option. Thanks for the bottle, Kase. — 7 months ago

Gary Westby’s recommendations never fail! This is an amazingly versatile champagne that will pair with almost anything; from sushi to thanksgiving turkey and fixings to a nice steak! — 8 years ago

Nose - lilacs, soil, clay amphora and erasers! (Haha) Flavors - cranberry and tart blueberries. Mouthfeel - a bit sharp and acidic with a semi dry finish some tannins but not too much. Look - gorgeous garnet color. Food - went sooo very well with the lamb my hubs made. — 6 months ago

Picked this up a few months ago from the state store when I saw Louis Dressner. Seems different from the only other fleurie I’ve had. Lots of earth juice with raspberry. — 6 years ago

Soft and bubbly, apple champagne. Flavorful but subtle enough that it can be paired as a desert wine. — 7 years ago
