Lying on crystalline granite soils, Fleurie wines show elegance and finesse. The 2016 Fleurie "Chateau des Labourons" shows a nice ruby red color with purple hints. The nose is intense with flavors of blackberry and blackcurrant. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and the tannins are supple and silky. A beautiful finish that is slightly peppery with violet notes.
