Vin de France

Medium

Cork

A quietly compelling wine from Lafleur this year. Creamy blue fruit aromas on the nose, quite open and friendly with some purple floral aspects and ripe but cool fruit, milk chocolate and some dried herbs. Soft and bouncy with both immediate grip and energy and intensity. Round and filling but delicately so - nothing overdone, there’s flesh and tannin presence but a certain lifted aspect where nothing is heavy. Lots of layers, fully textured but lattice-like. Still quite a dark style despite a juicy core with liquorice, flint, smoke, cedar and clove all in harmony. Really very cool and fresh, nothing hot or sunny about this wine. Serious, knitted, dark and finely tuned with good construction and grip while giving the impression that it’s not too muscular. Bravo. A yield of 35hl/ha. Now designated as a Vin de France as are all the other wines in the Lafleur range.
