Fleurie Cuvée Tardive 2023 (1.5L)

A red wine from Fleurie, made by Clos de la Roilette. It comes from a selection of grapes from old vines of more than 60 years. The name Tardive refers here to a wine intended for long ageing in bottle, rather than a late harvest. Concentrated and forceful, it is best left to mature before drinking. It suits earthy menus and is worth trying with coq au vin. Ruby with violet reflections. The nose is broad and pleasantly rich, combining red fruit with spice. On the palate it shows surprising intensity, yet remains fine and inviting.
