2015 Chanson, Fleurie, 6x750ml

Mid-deep purple. Roasted, smoke and dark-chocolate edge to black-cherry fruit. Old leather, dried tobacco and perhaps even some balsamic development? Palate of smoky, black cherry, dense chocolate fruit, bitter almond and firm to high, chewy tannins. The antithesis of ‘light and floral’ Fleurie. Dense, compact and brooding. Long.
