A densely packed Fleurie, with dark cherry, violet and crushed blackberry flavors that are generous yet firmly framed on the palate, laced with pastry notes, black pepper and graphite shavings. Drink now through 2030.

The 2020 Fleurie Roche Guillon has a high-toned nose with just a touch of soy emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and outgoing, just missing some nuance and complexity on the finish.
