Bernard Fleuriet & Fils - Sancerre - Tradition rouge 2022

BIODYNAMIC

Key words: Fruity / Oaky / Elegant

The wine: As usual with the Fleuriet family , we enjoy tasting it! This Tradition red vintage in AOC Sancerre is therefore no exception and presents a very nice balance general. Notes of red fruits (strawberry, raspberry) and black fruits (cherry, blackberry) evolve on the palate, well supported by a gourmand oakyness touch bringing toasty and vanilla notes. A nice density is also present on the palate, making this Pinot noir a nice aperitif partner but above all an excellent meal companion! We think, for example, of a pairing with white meat…delicious!

The estate: Located in Menetou-Râtel, just Near Sancerre, the domaine Fleuriet is managed by Bernard, the patriarch, as well as his sons Mathieu and Benoit. With great good nature and an extraordinary sense of welcome, 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 AOC Menetou-Salon), Sauvignon reigns supreme here, accompanied by Pinot Noir for reds and rosés. The estate has been certified in Organic Agriculture since 2016 and Demeter (biodynamic) since 2021. Vinification is carried out with the minimum possible intervention in order to let the terroir express itself (native yeasts, minimal use of sulphites, etc.). The estate's range is varied and all the vintages have their own identity. The only thing in common: the quality of the wines!
