Famille Dutraive Fleurie Les Deduits 2021

Tasting Notes

This Fleurie cuvée comes from a single plot, "Les Déduits", located to the east of the Fleurie appellation on fairly deep, granitic soil. The vines are 50 years old, certified organic and face south-east at an altitude of 240m. The grapes were hand harvested and vinified in concrete vats using carbonic maceration and indigenous yeast. The wine was moved to demi-muid and barrels for 7 months ageing before being bottled unfined and unfiltered with very little or no sulphur. Often the most delicate, feminine wine of the group with lots of freshness, lift and a violet and cherry fruit punch. Light cherry red with nose of potpourri, raspberry and cranberry with a dusting of spice. So light but so concentrated. On the palate, rich sweet spice with clear juicy red fruits and a fresh mineral undercurrent. - Importer Note
