Chateau de Fleurie La Madone Loron 750 ml

Tasting Note

This Fleurie wine has an intense amaranthine/purple colour with garnet reflections. The nose offers a perfect alchemy between light, floral notes of Peony and intense aromas of red berries. The mouth reveals raspberry fruit and silky tannins offering good ageing potential.

Grapes

100% Gamay, handpicked and sorted, 1.2ha vineyard with steep slopes of sandy/granite soil up to a metre in depth. 60% whole bunch fermention. To extract more body, colour and tannins the maceration lasts about 20 days in wooden barrels covered by a “chapeau grillé”. 8-9 months vat ageing.

Fleurie is a perfect pairing withcharcuterie such as patés, terrines, rillettes and saucisson sec and with soft, white-rinded cheeses such as Brie and Camembert. It's also a highly versatile wine that can easily take you through a meal where people are ordering different things.
