2015 Clos de la Roilette Fleurie
$24 bottle
One of the most admired producers in Fleurie, Clos de la Roilette, in the village of Fleurie, covers nine hectares of one of the best slopes in the Beaujolais Crus. The clos has an eastern exposure, borders the Moulin-à-Vent appellation, and produces wines that are beautiful when young and have the capacity to age for over 10 years. The Couderts say their particular terroir (mainly clay and manganese), and the age of their vines (25 to 33 years-old) account for the richness of their wine. It has a deep color with a hint of purple, a restrained nose of crème de cassis, a rich, full mouth with aromas of cassis, black cherries, and a nutty character, and finishes with zesty acidity. This is a wine that ages gracefully and takes on the aromatic character of a Pinot Noir.

The Vendange Tardive is made from 80 year old vines. In 2015 it is pure magic! While it can be enjoyed now, this extremely limited old vine cuvee is meant to be laid down. As winemaker Alain Coudert says, it proves that Gamay can seriously age and achieve more than youthful drinkability.

This family estate is worked manually and vinification is the traditional semi-carbonic Beaujolais style with native yeasts.
