Clos de la Roilette Fleurie Cuvée Tardive - the enduring potential of Gamay from Beaujolais' esteemed Fleurie appellation. This wine, crafted from 80+ year-old vines rooted in clay-rich soils, showcases the concentration and intensity that only time and meticulous viticulture can achieve.
The wine displays a captivating ruby red hue with violet undertones, inviting you to delve deeper into its aromatic complexities. The nose unfolds as an evolving symphony of ripe fruit, subtle spice, and a wisp of smoke, hinting at the depth and layers within. On the palate, an elegant entry leads to a refined structure, where delicate notes of black cherry and subtle earthiness intertwine. The tannins, present yet supple, suggest a wine with graceful aging potential.
Clos de la Roilette practices sustainable farming, tending to their old vines with the utmost care. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo traditional semi-carbonic maceration in concrete tanks, preserving the vibrant fruit character. Aging in century-old oak foudres adds depth and complexity without overshadowing the wine's natural elegance.
