Smooth like silk, now this is what Gamay is supposed to taste like & all at an amazing price. Score: 98/100.
Tasting Note: Light to medium ruby in colour with good acidity, light tannin, medium intense nose & a long length on the finish. This wine features: Bing cherries, strawberry, raspberry, nectarines,
Negatives: None
Interesting Point: Chill the wine to 15C & use a balloon style glassware. Fleurie is named after a Roman general, Floricum, rather than for any floral traits in the wine.
Pairings: Drink this now or in 2-4 years on its own or pair it with escargot.
My Opinion: Highly Recommended
