Clos de la Roilette (Alain Coudert) Description
This vintage is a selection of old vines (over 60 years old) planted on more clayey soil, giving more concentration and intensity of fruit. Ruby red, garnet purplish in color, it has a pleasant relief with a fine and serene fabric. The nose has a fine aromatic evolution combining fruit, spices and smoke. On the palate the attack is fine and regular, with subtle notes of chew, present without being harsh, finely distinguished. To be enjoyed relatively young while also being able to reserve some obscure places for it in your cellar and thus combine good 'boeuf-mode' and good bourgeois cuisine.
Wine Advocate: 93+ Points
The 2022 Fleurie Cuvée Tardive, produced from vines averaging 80 years old, masterfully pushes the boundaries of concentration. Offering up opulent aromas of grilled blackberries and cherries mingled with licorice, cloves, white pepper, orange rind, vine smoke, struck flint and forest floor, it's medium to full-bodied and appropriately structured with abundant powdery tannins playing a critical role in bolstering the fleshy structure for a long life. The lengthy finish sees the wine's textural and mineral elements meld, guiding it to a gentle, leisurely resolve.
