Le Grappin Fleurie-Poncie 2019
"This vineyard is planted on a ridge high above the village of Fleurie. This warm south-facing site tends to yield wines with similarities to Moulin-a-Vent. In an email exchange, Andrew was particularly excited about this cuvée. Being a traditionalist, Andrew used Jules Chauvet’s vintage notes from 1972 as winemaking inspiration. The wine is fermented whole-cluster for three weeks before being pressed off into neutral foudres. No crushing, pumping, or plunging was performed during this time. The wine is unfined and unfiltered." -Importer notes
