Tasting Profile & Terroir

Crafted exclusively from Gamay, this wine undergoes semi-carbonic maceration to enhance its vibrant fruit profile, followed by aging in concrete tanks to maintain its freshness and mineral purity. It’s a true expression of the unique Fleurie terroir.

• Appearance: Intense, brilliant ruby red color.
• Nose: Highly aromatic, bursting with signature floral notes-think violets, peonies, and irises-complemented by bright red fruit like raspberry and cherry.
• Palate: Silky, supple, and finely structured. The palate shows a lovely mineral precision, with beautifully integrated, fine tannins leading to a long, fresh finish.

Pairing & Serving Tips

This is a versatile red that shines when served slightly cool (around 55°F).

• Food Pairings: Excellent with holiday fare such as slow-roasted turkey or glazed ham, as well as mushroom-based dishes and gourmet charcuterie.
• Cellaring: Enjoy now for its vibrant fruit, or cellar for 5-7 years for added complexity.
