FLEURIE (Gamay) “La Reine de l’Arenite” (France)
Wine, Red
PRODUCTION
'Arenite' is the terroir of pinky, crumbly sandstone of the La Madone vineyards, rated as one of the best vineyards in Fleurie. At up to 450m altitude and with soils still untouched by phylloxera, goblet trained vines on the east and south east facing vineyards lie below the Chapel of the Madonna at the top of the hill. Gamay Noir vines range from 40 to 90 years of age. Grapes are hand-picked and wholeberry fermented for 8-10 days (traditional maceration carbonique) followed by a further 2 or 3 days on the skins to assist with aromas. No use of cultured yeasts. Pressed after an 8-10 day cuvaison. First press wine was returned to vat and left for 8 months before bottling.
TASTING NOTE
Very pretty indeed, a heady perfume of freshly picked irises and peonies drifts above the crushed berry fruit nose. Ripe tannins and fresh acidity support a palate of Morello cherries, strawberries with wonderful savoury finish.

CHABLIS “Domaine de Motte” (France)
Wine, White
Ripe lemon on the nose. The palate is well balanced with fresh zesty fruit and a long citrussy finish,
remarkable elegance and finesse. Far superior than the name 'Petit' might suggest.
