ChâteaudeFleurie

<p>Vibrant red in colour, with aromas of dark flowers and earth, followed by a plump, silky palate of crushed red berry fruit offset by a touch of earthy spice.</p><p>This lovely 18th century château belongs to the direct descendents of Jean Loron: Barbet and Roclore Family. The 9 hectares of vines are located mainly in the village of Fleurie. Under the winery, the vaulted cellar holds an impressive stock of oak vats where the entire production is matured.</p><p>The cuvée is a subtle blend of parcels located close to the Château. The ageing process, which takes place in old, ancestral casks, is carried out with pride. This well-balanced wine has silky tannins and an extraordinary length in the mouth.</p><p>Several parcels are in the lieux-dits of “Les Rochaux”, “Point du Jour”, “La Madone” and “Le Bourg”, a stone’s throw from the Château. All in sand over granite sand.</p><p>Grapes harvested by hand, then partially destemmed. Ancestral vinification methods using a “chapeau grillé” (special wooden grill) and long vatting. Aged in vats and casks for eight to nine months.</p>
