Clos De La Roilette
Vendange Tardive Fleurie Gamay
Fleurie, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
Never tire of these flavors of bold, black currant & black cherries. A Fleurie that drinks like a Moulin A Vent, especially the Tardive. Also a BBQ accompaniment

Jul 11th, 2021The Tardive really is an uptick in depth though this is such kick ass Beaujolais I’ve always felt it deserves its own category (Kick A- Beaujo). Black cherries, but seriously black, oodles of fruit but it’s the minerality & acid that sets it apart, along w the depth. Medium bodied, taut( not tight somehow). Ribena with cracked black pepper nose. Blind tasting w friends but guessed to be every region but Beaujo. If I remember the history right, this is more of a Moulin Vent property, so makes some sense it has such gravitas- which is what it is, a joyous wine with gravitas. Dressner importer. Oh, and it’s ok to try now, it’s not infanticide. 25$ on sale- that’s just stupid.
