After the very pleasing rose and ruby colour, the nose has the classic floral elegance of Fleurie. This is really lovely. Perfectly poised and very long.

Lys, luftig, delikat økovin, der dyrker en frigjort og frem for alt letløbende og læskende stil, der både er tro mod appellationen og charmerer med sin fersk-florale, let pebrede elegance, labre frugtsyre og søde tanniner. Ingen trættende tyngde eller streng tørhed her. Den er sourcet fra stokke plantet i Fleuries karakteristiske lyserøde granitjord. Letløbende saftighed og en lakridset harmoni er i fokus her snarere end strukturel tyngde. Foruroligende let at holde af.

The 2023 Fleurie Poncié comes from fruit courtesy of Joseph Bouchard (yes, he is related to the famous family). It has a lively bouquet with cranberry and raspberry fruit, fine delineation with a light floral element. The palate is well balanced with fluid tannins, fleshy but with underlying grip and a dash of black pepper on the finish. This is well worth seeking out.
