Jean Foillard : Fleurie 2023

The 2023 Fleurie comes from south-facing vines, the first to be picked within the “Champagne” lieu-dit. It has a little more fruit intensity than the Côte du Py, with raspberry, blackcurrant, allspice and a light hint of white pepper on the nose. The palate is well balanced with fine tannins, gentle grip, sapid red fruit and a tightly coiled, mineral-laden finish. Superb.
