Bernard Fleuriet et Fils - Sancerre - Tradition rouge 2022

BIODYNAMIC

Keywords :  Fruity / Oaky / Elegant

The wine : As usual with the Fleuriet family, tasting is a real treat! This Tradition red cuvée in AOC Sancerre is no exception and offers a very nice overall balance overall. Notes of red fruits (strawberry, raspberry) and black fruits (cherry, blackberry) develop on the palate, well supported by a delicious oaky character bringing hints of toasted bread and vanilla. A lovely density of substance is also present on the palate, making this Pinot Noir a great partner for an aperitif but above all an excellent companion for meals! For example, it pairs beautifully with white meat… delicious!

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 sulfur, etc.). The estate's range is varied and each cuvée has its own unique identity. The only common point: the quality of the wines!
