The tiniest touch of volatility shows in the nose, but overall very pure and high toned. There's some sour strawberry and more mineral on the finish than other fluerie I've had lately. Not exactly closed or austere but not as giving as others. Very refined wine.

Black cherry, blueberry with earth, pink peppercorn and crunchy mineral. Depth of fruit and maturity of tannin clearly from old vines. Fleurie through and through displaying great elegance and grace on top of a frame full of structure and intensity.

Not as dynamic as I’d remembered. Mineral, flinty, tart raspberries.

Remarkably smooth with soft tones of black cherry and hints of pepper and citrus. Subtle minerality given the grape. Excellent Gamay, one of the best I have had from Fleurie.
