Tasting notes

Commented by Olivier Poussier in Autumn 2024

Color : A light ruby hue with violet highlights.

Nose : The nose is open, revealing juicy red fruits like cherry and raspberry, with a hint of peony likely brought by a touch of whole-cluster fermentation. The aging process gracefully enhances the overall profile.

Palate : The palate reveals a balanced, medium-bodied texture. The mid-palate is round and supple, with well-managed tannins, finishing with a crispness and subtle spicy notes. This is a Fleurie to enjoy young, offering delightful harmony and a fresh, flavorful profile from its early youth.

Service temperature : 59°F
