Bernard Fleuriet et Fils - Sancerre - Tradition rouge 2023

BIODYNAMIC

Keywords :  Red fruits / Lightly oaked / Elegance

The wine : Generous fruit, lovely depth and just the right touch of oak: Domaine Fleuriet’s Tradition Rouge is a Sancerre that combines juicy appeal with elegance. Strawberry and raspberry mingle with cherry and blackberry on an expressive palate, where subtle toasted notes add a touch of warmth. This Pinot Noir also has a pleasing concentration, while retaining all its charm and finesse. A delicious red, equally enjoyable with a charcuterie board as an aperitif or alongside roast poultry or pork tenderloin at the dinner table.

The estate : Located in Menetou-Râtel, right next to Sancerre, the Fleuriet estate is managed by Mathieu and Benoit along with their father Bernard. With great friendliness and an extraordinary sense of hospitality, the two brothers and their father produce magnificent wines where the terroir is expressed with great clarity. Covering 30 hectares (mainly in AOC Sancerre but also in Menetou-Salon), Sauvignon reigns supreme here, accompanied by a little Pinot Noir. The estate has been certified Organic since 2016 and Demeter (biodynamics) since 2021. The winemaking is carried out with minimal intervention to allow the terroir to express itself (indigenous yeasts, minimal use of sulfites, etc.). The estate's range is varied and each cuvée has its own unique identity. The only common point: the quality of the wines !
