Clos de la Roilette Description
Clos de la Roilette Fleurie is a captivating Gamay from the heart of Beaujolais. Crafted from 50-year-old vines rooted in the unique granite and clay soils of Fleurie, this wine showcases the elegance and complexity that define this esteemed appellation.
This Fleurie showcases a captivating, deep ruby hue with purple highlights, hinting at its alluring complexity. The nose offers a delicate bouquet of violets and raspberries, subtly interwoven with notes of toasted spice and leather. On the palate, the wine bursts forth with a lively and joyful attack, unfolding into a medium-bodied structure supported by pleasing tannins. A harmonious blend of ripe fruit, spice, and earthiness evolves across the palate, culminating in a warm, lingering, and utterly voluptuous finish.
Clos de la Roilette employs sustainable farming practices, nurturing their old vines with meticulous care. The grapes are hand-harvested and vinified using traditional semi-carbonic maceration, preserving the vibrant fruit character. Aging in century-old oak foudres adds complexity and depth without overshadowing the wine's natural purity.
This Fleurie is a delightful companion to a variety of dishes, particularly those featuring slow-cooked meats and fresh vegetables. Its balance of fruit, earthiness, and spice makes it a versatile choice for both casual and celebratory occasions.
