Les Bertrand Fleurie AOC "Coup de Foudre" 2023

A Fleurie Gamay from Les Bertrand, made from vines over sixty years old. It shows an intense ruby colour with violet reflections, with mature cherries and raspberries leading the nose, followed by floral notes and sweet spices. The palate is well structured, balanced and round, with good persistence. Articulated ageing gives it depth and complexity, and it changes in the glass, starting more compact before gaining nuance. It can be drunk now, yet has enough structure to be enjoyed over the years. It pairs well with meat, especially beef fillet with porcini mushrooms.
