Clos de la Roilette Fleurie Beaujolais

Delivers a succulently stimulating abundance of freshly ripe dark berries, licorice, and nut oils tinged with nutmeg as well as with smoky suggestions of peat and tobacco familiar from wines of this property. This is another of those 2010s managing to soothe texturally while retaining a brightness and tart-edged cut that reflect the firm, late-ripened fruit of this vintage. Look for this long, handsome Fleurie to perform well for at least the next 2-3 years. 90 Points Wine Advocate #5 on Marketview Liquor's 2011 Top 100
