2015 Piron Beaujolais Fleurie
Maison Piron
The cru is situated in the north of Beaujolais. The pink granite of the soils of steep Fleurie vineyards are more acid and produce lighter, more delicate wines than, say, Morgon, and can be some of the most charming of all Beaujolais. This wine from 50-year-old vines is perhaps a bit more mineral than the supple Brouilly, a slightly more ‘serious’ affair. Dominique Piron calls it a wine-geek wine. Bit of raspberry compote pippiness here, floral. Bright on nose and entry, This is summer pudding but not sweet; spice, a really nice, brambly tannin feel. Surprising tannin. Delicious.

Raspberry, dried roses, spice, a bit of polished cedar, minerally feel to it, and a certain sharpness to the acidity. It’s tight and the tannin makes a play, almost an emery feel to them, fresh berries and cherry, with a tang and severity to the finish. Energetic. It’s a fine thing to drink.

Light-bodied and creamy, this expressive red is marked by raspberry purée, violet, and wild strawberry flavours, accented by licorice, pink peppercorn, and mineral undertones. Offers a long, clean finish. Drink now through 2021.
