Fleurie, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
What a steal this is (at about $25 from Garagiste IIRC. Nose leaps out of the glass with floral notes and bright dark cherries. Some granitic minerality too. In the mouth it’s intense and youthfully vigorous. Big whack of fruit initially then it tightens up and the youthful but fine-grained tannins are felt in the finish. Really nice acidity. I expected to like this but I LOVE it.
