A beautiful carmine red color with slight purple highlights characterizes this vintage, which exudes dominant fruity aromas of fresh blackcurrant and white peach. On the palate, red fruit notes clearly prevail. The wine is at once supple, full-bodied, and velvety. The tannins, perfectly integrated and remarkably fine, complete this harmonious and well-rounded Fleurie.
