“Lightish crimson. Lifted, tangy red fruits, raspberry and cranberry with a light stone-dust mineral quality increasing the freshness. Dry in texture, scented with red fruits on the palate, and balanced by the juicy fruit. Refined, refreshing.”
Jane sources 80% of the Gamay for her Fleurie from a single parcel called ‘Les Labourons’. The 95-year-old bush vines produce incredibly low yields and sit at approximately 300 metres above sea level on granite soils. The remaining 20% of the blend comes from 50-year-old Gamay vines in top lieu-dit ‘La Madone’ – expected to be granted 1er Cru status in the upcoming classification of Fleurie vineyards. All of the bunches are hand harvested.
