Fleurie Cuvée Tardive Clos de la Roilette 2009

The wine

This Gamay comes from sandy granite soils. This domaine vinifies in whole clusters and then ferments for 2 to 3 weeks in cement. Elevage lasts 6 months in oak foudres. The ruby red robe of this wine reveals fruit, spice and smoky aromas. The mouth is racy and has a silky texture making it the perfect wine to pair with meat dishes. Be sure to let it breathe before serving.
