This is big Fleurie, dominated by floral aromas and dry tannins at this stage, and therefore likely to develop for a year or two. The fruits are dark plum, full in the mouth. The acidity offers freshness but also adds to the weight of the texture.

Certainly an attractive presentation with its cute pink heart on the label, this is also an attractive, finely structured wine which brings together some good tannins and ripe fruits, a hint of licorice and fresh acidity.

A pure strawberry jam wine, its ripe fruit scintillating with freshness and acidity. The wine is also round, with tannins giving some weight. The aftertaste is deliciously fruity.

An attractively balanced Moulin-à-Vent, this has firm tannins that contrast well with the damson flavor and tight acidity. The finish is fresh, with a hint of minerality.

Comes out of the chute stinky, like a sweaty bull at a rodeo, but it settles down to deliver dark-skinned fruit, earth and espresso flavors. It’s mouthfilling and round, with a long finish and soft tannins.

There is a good depth of red fruit flavor here, along with a touch of tannins, a granite feel to the structure, but also an open acidity. The wine has a delicious, fresh and juicy finish.

For a Morgon, this is relatively light, showing more fruit than structure, with freshness that’s tempered by a firm edge and minerality. Keep for a year, or drink now.

Soft, open wine, the dry tannins a subplot to the fresh strawberry fruits and gentle acidity. There is a final bright, clear aftertaste.
