Fleurie Carolon Grand'cour (Domaine de la) - Jean-Louis Dutraive 2017

The wine

This Fleurie is produced from vines aged between 20 and 70 years planted on a plot of under two hectares. After ageing in oak foudres, the wine has a silky and indulgent texture and a backbone of nicely blended and delicate tannins. It will keep for some years in the cellar.
