Fleurie 2023
More vintage
Fleurie's vineyards stretch over many hills and valleys, then slope gently down to the Saône plain. This wine has a complex nose, with aromas of fresh red berries, morello cherries and citrus fruit with toasty notes. The palate is tasty and fresh, with a lovely chewy finish.
