"The 2023 Fleurie was a little more backward and stubborn than the Chiroubles on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with a mix of sweet red cherries and orange zest, gentle grip and a harmonious, spicier finish." -Neal Martin

"The 2023 Fleurie, crafted from two distinct plots—Bel Air, picked on the first day of harvest, and Cercillon, picked on the last—reveals a striking floral character, dominated by white powdery blossoms. On the palate, it is sappy and vibrant, bursting with concentrated flavors of raspberry and cherry, though simultaneously grounded by a lining of abundant powdery tannins. This combination stands as an impressive representation of the multifaceted nature of Fleurie, seamlessly blending the "hard" and the "soft" in a single cuvée." -Kenna Wells
