Anne-Sophie Dubois, Clepsydre Fleurie 2016, Beaujolais, France
Tasting Note: A floral Fleurie Crus Beaujolais with lovely aromatics and precision of flavor.
Medium-intensity ruby in color, this wine has a nose of kirsch, raspberry, red plum, blossom and hints of dill.
On the palate the try, medium-bodied Fleurie Beaujolais is medium-plus in acidity with soft, red-fruit concentration and balance.
Bottle Note: This cuvee is a selection of the oldest vines of the domaine. More than 70 years old, they produce a fleshy, deep and racy wine. 2015 offers density and silky tannins. Fermentation is by natural yeast and bottling is without filtration to preserve the integrity of this cuvee.
