Le Printemps Fleurie Gamay
A little springtime flower patch poking through the wintry weather tonight. Blue and red, musky, floral, crunchy and tart. Not heavy or overripe like other ‘18s I’ve had; drinks like a fleurie. You might call it a...wait for it...snow fleurie. 😎 Ok I apologize

Feb 7th, 2021Light framed, pure, just-ripe, blue and red-fruited, a bit minty and herbal. Almost ethereal and excellent on night one. Overnight developed some mousiness on the finish.

Dec 18th, 2020Took an afternoon for the natural to blow off and then...voluminous intensity of fruit and texture. Métras is magic. 2018 is magic.

Jan 24th, 2023Lovely. Very light bodied with subtle black cherry, hints of spice, and a really nice feel of minerality on the palate.
