  13.5% alcohol. Striking label, an abstract painting inspired by flowers. Softish wax top; the cork is of excellent quality. Medium pale colour with significant thinning at the rim.
  The nose is delicate with an interesting mix of red berries and floral aspects. The mouth is reduced at first, a sensation which abates slowly through the meal. This bottle would have benefitted from a decant, not something that I normally put my Beaujolais trough. Rich and structured with excellent grip and superb acidity; there is clearly a lot to this wine, pity that the reduction detracts from it to an extent. Very good fruit with some raspberry on top of the redcurrant and wild cherry.
  A success, but I will certainly decant the next bottle.

  Grosse réduction sur la basse-cour à l'ouverture. Pas de carafe à l'horizon, donc on attendra le lendemain les premiers verres n'étant pas franchement convaincants hormis une qualité de bouche certaine.
  
  Tout autre musique le lendemain, le nez s'est transformé sur des belles senteurs de fruits noirs, d'épices et quelques notes fumées. Très très joli.
  Belle bouche avec beaucoup de profondeur et un joli grain un rien accrocheur, renforçant le relief.
  Très bonne persistance sur les fleurs.
  
  Après le Dutraive à nouveau un superbe Fleurie dans un tout autre registre. A carafer généreusement pour un usage immediat par contre !

  PnP. At first a lot (too much) barnyard in the nose. Disappear with time in the glas. Lovely glas with "white" meat (rabbit).

  Excellent wine with many layers, probably helped by some well integrated oak. Brought to blind tasting. NO one guessed Beaujolais 😊. Single bottle from cellar - what a shame 🙁.
