We had been looking for an oaked Fleurie to replace Jocelyne Depardon's Fut de Chene, and think we might have found it.
Flo says of the 2015 (September 2018): A classic Fleurie which has aged into a smooth tannined easy drinking wine. Grown on pink granite this wine is meaty, silky, with a finish of minerality reminiscent of its terroir. This wine has spent 12 months in oak and grown from 70-year-old vines and it's only becoming more refined with age. This wine makes me want to pair it with great steak tartare or even peking duck.
