This is a fun wine. Big, boisterous nose on this. Loads of granitic earthiness up-front and lots of very ripe dark cherry behind. Terrific whack of pure and rich Beaujolais sappy juiciness hits the palate quickly. It’s a little loose and sexy, which is a very good thing, but its open-knit nature lacks a little of the coiled core that would ensure aging. So I’d drink these sooner rather than later for their guilt-free sensory promiscuity.

Serious Fleurie. More tannic and structured than most, yet still accessible in youth.

Summer night. Stoop drinks. A young, stony Fleurie popping like strawberry purée, with mint and lavender finish. August indulgence.
