Tasting Notes
The Fleurie vineyards cover several hills and valleys, then slope gently down towards the Saône plain. The nose captivates with its complex aromas, bergamot comes first, followed by notes of caramel and black fruit. The mouth feel is very fruity. You can also detect the bitter notes brought by the whole harvest giving the wine its freshness.
