Vaucher Père & Fils Fleurie 2024

Tasting Notes

Matured 10 months in stainless steel, this lovely example of Fleurie sports a flavour profile that's all about red fruit and berries, with tart red plums playing a leading role. The fruit-acid balance is right-on, making for an attractively fresh texture that's firm and fleshy. This is a relentlessly dry wine, just this side of astringent, and as such it's better enjoyed with food than on its own. Drink now to 2028. (Tasted April 2025.) Score - 93. (Rod Phillips)
