@Delectable Wine - This is the 2020 Domaine de la Madone “Dame de la Petoche” Fleurie, not the regular Fleurie. It’s an old vine cuvée aged in old barrels. The color is deeply saturated and the nose is so deep. Ripe, pure dark cherry juice drizzled over slabs of decomposing old granite. So mineral. Densely flavored but not overdone, it’s pretty powerful and has deep flavors of mineral and dark crunchy fruit. Acids are a tad low but I am certainly not complaining. Delicious and serious. — a year ago

Took a little while to breathe and let the fizziness subside. Tart red berries at the start, finishes with dry minerals. The somewhat heavy mineral notes added some nice complexity to this Gamay, still a touch tart and dry for my tastes. — 4 years ago
Really one of the nicer and perhaps more complete Beaujolais I’ve had in a bit. Decanted 2+ hours, needed it as there is some real structure here that evened out nicely. Wonderful nose, quite typical. Lots of dark red fruit and a bit of earthy funk. Excellent length and acid on the finish. — a year ago
