July 9, 2020 - Deep ruby. Blackberry and licorice. Typical lighter weight, but extra flesh that provides more texture. Lean but not overly strict blackberry fruit that is ripe but not sweet at all. Excellent acidity and a strong thread of stone throughout. Remarkably structured and backward for Fleurie-more like, say, a Moulin-à-Vent. Still fairly coiled and youthful with outstanding prospects for further development. I'd bet that it will open out and show even more by tomorrow. We'll see.
Ah yes, after a night in the fridge, more sappy cherry fruit and powdered chocolate. This is a long distance runner in Beaujolais terms.
And the night after that, some spicy blueberry layered onto the soil base.2 people found this helpful 2,044 views

7/9/20, 10:56 PM - from the Bowler website and Mssr Coudert told me the same during my visit :
"Being on the border of the Moulin-à-Vent cru, the core of Roilette’s Fleurie terroir is atypical of Fleurie, rich in clay and the mineral manganese instead of being all granite; the wines are thus more structured than many Fleurie wines. "
