Absolutely bang on classic Fleurie and one of the finer expression of Gamay. A rich purple ruby red colour; violets and raspberry on the nose with a hint of distant leather; crisp bright fruit on the palate but with a voluptuous texture and lifted finish. L&S (Feb 2019)

Vivid ruby. Aromas of ripe dark berries, candied flowers and smoky minerals pick up a hint of star anise as the wine opens up. Sweet and pliant on the palate, offering juicy boysenberry and black raspberry flavors that flesh out slowly with aeration. Finishes sappy and smooth, displaying rounded tannins, a lingering blue fruit note and strong, mineral-driven persistence.

Very bright and attractive red berries and a plush palate with berry-pastry flavors and a smooth, riper texture to the tannins. Drink now. Rating: 90 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Feb 2019)

Clos de La Roilette

From a famous little corner of Fleurie, but ironically the word 'Fleurie' does not dominate their iconic yellow labels, this is because the domaine was created before the Fleurie Appellation existed and the label still retains the original, classic design! In fact up until 1926 the vineyard owners felt they were in Moulin a Vent and were a little disappointed to be put in to the 'new-fangled' Fleurie appellation, The soils here are an unusual mix of manganese and clay, this gives wines with more structure and power than most Fleuries. This wine is named after a favourite racehorse 'La Roilette' owned by a previous owner of the farm in the early 1900s. This is why the unchanged label from the 1920s carries the silhouette of a horse's head. The Couderts own the largest part of this old estate, and pick from old vines at maximum maturity to make fully coloured wines with great juicy richness. They are without doubt one of the finest domaines in the Beaujolais.
