Bernard Fleuriet & Fils - Sancerre - Tradition rouge 2022

ORGANIC

Key words: Fruity / Woody / Elegant

Wine: As usual with the Fleuriet family , we enjoy the tasting! This Tradition red cuvée in AOC Sancerre is therefore no exception and presents a very good balance general. Notes of red fruits (strawberry, raspberry) and black (cherry, blackberry) evolve on the palate, well supported by a greedy woodiness bringing touches of toast and vanilla. A nice density of matter is also present on the palate, making this Pinot noir a great partner for an aperitif but above all an excellent meal companion! We think for example of a pairing on 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-naturedness and an extraordinary sense of hospitality, the two brothers and their father produce magnificent wines in which the terroir expresses itself 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 the reds and rosés. The estate has been certified in Organic Agriculture since 2016 and Demeter (biodynamic) since 2021. The vinification is done with the minimum possible intervention in order to let the terroir express itself (indigenous yeasts, minimal use of sulphur, etc.). The estate's range is varied and all the cuvées have their own identity. The only common point: the quality of the wines!
