| Fleurie |
| situation |
Located between Moulin à Vent and Chiroubles, the FLEURIE "appellation"
(vintage) does not go beyond the town limits. One can see a chapel, built
at the top of a hill, in honour of the Madonna in 1875 to thank the virgin
for protecting the vineyards.. TRENEL's FLEURIE comes from some
of the best spots, among which are the "clos des Moriers", "Rochaux"
and "La Roilette". |
| tasting |
Deep consistent red with beautiful purple tints. The nose is powerfully floral
and reminiscent of violets. Confirming these first impressions,
the palate is layered, balanced and well structured.
A superb wine best drunk within the next 3-4 years. |
| HOW TO DRINK AND SERVE |
It should be drunk between 13 and 15°C. It is the perfect match for a leg
of lamb "à la beaujolaise" or lamb with garlic cream, as well as chicken
and white meat. |
