  Luminous cherry red color. Somewhat reticent and very pure nose with delicate red-toned aromas of wild strawberries, some cherries and a hint of raspberries. Dry, pure and crunchy on the palate with savory flavors of raspberries, wild strawberries, tomato and a hint of stony minerality. Moderately high acidity, no tannins to speak of. Very light, delicate and fresh expression of Gamay. The finish is lively and pure with crunchy flavors of raspberries, wild strawberries and a hint of mineral bitterness.
  
  An enjoyable, fresh and juicy summer red. Typical for a Fleurie, this is a light and delicate expression of Cru Beaujolais with lovely focus and emphasis on the purity of the fruit. Not particularly complex nor memorable for a Beaujolais, but very nice nevertheless. A tasty quaffer, to put it short.

  A charming young Beaujolais , still purple in hue, with a nose of raspberries to start , then strawberries , violets, cherries, brambly Loganberries,Santa Rosa plums, and a subtle earthiness in the background. On the palate, it retains a lively acidity, with flavours of cherries and strawberries. Smooth, fruity and refreshing!
