Justin Dutraive Fleurie La Madone 2018

Fleurie, Beaujolais / France
-
La Madone is one of the emblematic terroirs of Fleurie, comprised of an outcrop of granite that towers steeply over the surrounding vineyards with a famous chapel at the top (hence the name). Justin’s small parcel comes from vines owned by his mother, who lives near the top of this famous hillside. 

Cold carbonic maceration for 12 hours in a cold cellar after harvests, cold vatting, 21 days fermentation without pump overs. 

Beautiful aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherries and strawberries, accompanied by floral and spicy notes.
