Fleurie Clos de la Grand'Cour Grand'cour (Domaine de la) - Jean-Louis Dutraive 2022

The wine

Fleurie Le Clos is matured for a third of the time in oak barrels, a third of the time in stainless steel and a third in oak casks. It is a somewhat rustic cuvée but hidden behind that is a beautiful complexity. The nose gives floral (violet, iris) and spiced notes. In the mouth it is full and well rounded. The finish is very pleasant with light notes of pepper. It is a wine that pairs perfectly with Roast Beef and Coq au Vin.
