Chateau de Fleurie. Heritiers Loron

Delicious, refined, spicy and earthy with lots of fruity nose and big Cherry flavour.

Very well structured, a Fleurie worthy of the ‘Queen of Beaujolais’ title.

A New Year’s gift from a Neighbour.

Graham brought this and we agreed, despite the scorn of the purists, that it is a style of wine we both like drinking: young, fresh and green around the gills.

Sacrilege to be drinking this out of it’s vintage year – never mind 7 months later – and I should have chilled it for the time of year: however – a big light mouthful of fruit, slightly tart but still agreeable.

Roll on November 2014.
