Laurent Perrachon 2023 Fleurie Vieilles Vignes
This addition to our range hails from a small parcel of average 50 year-old vines called La Cadole, hard by the famed hill of La Madone. Fleurie is usually considered to produce especially charming, dare one say feminine, wines. But this unexpectedly dense and liquorous example departs from that model, albeit it has floral overtones.

Notes from the Producer: The parcel bought in 2005, gave us our first Fleurie Cru. It comes from 2 prestigious lieu-dits: Les Marrans (0.30 hectare/ 0.75 acres) and Charbonnières (0.85 hectare/2.1 acres) but both granitic.
