Floral because it’s Fleurie? Maybe not but I’ll never stop commenting on how much I love that Cru Beaujolais sounds like it tastes. Violets just throw themselves at you like a bridal bouquet (don’t know if violets are traditional to a bouquet but if I ever have one maybe they will be) and anyway even if you are a commitment-phobe like me you’re gonna catch this wine. There may be rose or so and some plums and then just this wine wants to flow through your veins with happiness and if happiness flowing through your veins is something a relationship could bring then I am at least giving this a second date.

Kinda like Jordan wearing #45...way past it's prime. Unlike Jordan, not sure this wine ever had a prime. Not good and not going to get better. Don't use this to study Fleurie or Gamay in general. Paid $9, might not be worthy of cooking wine.

Fleurie without the flowers. Reticent, unexpressive nose with a rather unpleasant industrial finish.

Usually a huge fan of cru Beaujolais but this seemed reduced and shy on the fruit side not a fan
