Thanks to the solar heat, the Fleurie 2022 iteration is much more powerful, concentrated, and fleshy. It displays deeper black fruit aromas (like black cherry and cassis), broader body, and a significantly firmer tannic structure from the 10 months it spent maturing in oak barrels. It trades a bit of that light airiness for velvetines, structure, and sheer depth.
Certified organic and crafted with a low-intervention approach, this 100% Gamay captures the vibrant energy of the cooler 2021 vintage. Upfront, it delivers bright, tangy red berry fruits and delicate floral aromas, all supported by fine-grained tannins and a crisp, refreshing acidity that keeps you coming back for another sip. It perfectly bridges the gap between a smashable "glou-glou" natural wine and a classic, structured Beaujolais Cru.
