Laurent Perrachon Fleurie Vieilles Vignes
The Laurent Perrachon Fleurie Vieilles Vignes is a red wine that embodies the elegance for which this Cru is known as "the queen of Beaujolais." It is made from Gamay vines that are between 80 and 100 years old, planted in pink granite soils that contribute exceptional finesse. Unlike more commercial Beaujolais, this wine has a serious structure thanks to its age and traditional vinification. On the nose, it is delicately floral, with clear notes of violets and peonies, blended with fresh red fruits such as wild strawberries. On the palate, it is silky, feminine, and very balanced, with a minerality that leads to a long and elegant finish. A wine that demonstrates that Gamay, when sourced from old vines, can compete in sophistication with the best Burgundies.
