Château du Chatelard 2006 Cuvée Tradition Gamay (Fleurie)
- Cellar Selection
- $25
Aged in wood, this cuvée is powerful, ripe and intense. The jellied red fruits are all sweet and rich, touched by acidity but mainly with good depth of flavor and structure. It would even be worth aging this for another year.
