Rich, smooth and expansive on the nose, displaying ripe dark berry and violet scents and a hint of candied flowers. Juicy boysenberry and floral pastille flavors are enlivened by a peppery nuance and a hint of smoky minerals. The floral quality drives a very long, sweet finish shaped by supple, harmonious tannins. A good match with ham, charcuterie, cheese, pasta, TexMex and Asian dishes. 100% Gamay from 64 year old vines bordering Fleurie.
