RATINGS

92Vinous / IWC

A vibrant, mineral-accented bouquet evokes ripe red and dark berries, licorice and potpourri, and a spicy element lends urgency. Juicy, focused and appealingly sweet, offering concentrated raspberry and boysenberry flavors that flesh out slowly on the back half. Shows very good heft, but there's real energy here as well. Finishes sappy, spicy and very long, leaving a suave violet pastille note behind.

REGION

France, Beaujolais, Fleurie

Fleurie is a village located near the center of Beaujolais, and the Beaujolais Cru appellation named for it encompasses nearly 2,000 acres of vineyards. Many admirers of Beaujolais consider the Fleurie appellation to be one of the best, if not the best, of the Cru appellations and its wines are generally lush and aromatic. Some 500,000 cases are produced annually. Like nearly everywhere else in Beaujolais, the only grape grown is Gamay. Fleurie the village is charming and quaint and attracts many tourists.

TYPE

Red Wine, Gamay, Cru Beaujolais

The Gamay grape produces a light, versatile and food-friendly wine. It is best known for making Beaujolais Nouveau, but it is also grown in Loire and Tours. Thankfully the 14th C. Duke of Burgundy’s degree to ban the grape did not spread through all of France.
