Second bottle of this in the past year. It’s deep, complex, and drinking really well now. A little note of barnyard adds a dimensional to the deep ripe fruit and deep granite on the nose. It’s dry and very deep on the palate. Deep savory and mineral notes are prominent, nicely augmenting the dark fruit. Nice but soft acids. A teensy little bit drying on the finish, so this is definitely designed for the table, where it will shine with stews and braises and pasta and . . .

Feb 18th, 2026A relatively complex Bojo, with the nose displaying deep, vibrant cherry fruit, a slight barnyard/sauvage note, and lots of crushed granite. In the mouth it’s dense but lean and more minerally than fruity. Great acids and a long finish. Seems a little youthfully disjointed as yet, so a little more bottle age should assist.

Having this 22 again and it’s still a little young but beautiful and enjoyable and food friendly so far with a pan seared bluefin tuna,. Then paired with a Delice de Bourgogne, and some strawberries, absolutely perfect. Quite full and lively with a taut black stone structural element. Very drinkable.

Nov 15th, 2025Had this 2022 at same time as the 2020 Chiroubles which was so spectacular it upstaged this very good Fleurie. Beep violet color, a little spice dark fruits and black stony structure with a hint of iron.
