150cl * 13.5% ABV * Beaujolais, France * Organic
Bret Brothers have been making excellent terroir-focused wines from Southern Burgundy since 2001. From 2013, they incorporated the Beaujolais region into their range.
This Fleurie is a magnificent expression of the Beaujolais Cru. The grapes, grown on pink granite of the Poncié area, have ten days of carbonic maceration 'Zen' (without sulphites) before fermentation and barrel-aging. The result is a well-balanced, vibrant wine.
Strawberries and violets on the nose reveal a light, dry wine that is both structured and silky on the palate. Fruit-forward with floral notes, bright acidity, and lightly peppered with a slight gaminess on the finish.
This is one of only 120 magnums of the 2020 vintage!
Serve this wine lightly chilled. It flexes with food, so pair it with some stinky cheese or magret de canard.
