Gamay; loved for being light and fruity, here reveals its more serious, savoury side.
Le Quartier Fleurie able to retain fruit flavwine is a savoury, crunchier style of Gamay. By selecting particular yeasts, opting for partial carbonic maceration or alcoholic fermentation at a low temperature, they are able to retain fruit flavours without the tannin allowing a wine that is light, savoury but still concentrated.
Textbook Fleurie. An abundance of woody spice on the nose followed by raspberry coulis and fig notes which continue on to the fresh fruit finish. Fleurie, with its higher acidity but lower tannin levels, can happily be matched with a huge range of foods easily solving the "what to serve with what" dilemma. Serve slightly chilled and try with all styles of chicken, pork (belly or chop), pork and sage sausages, salmon or tuna.
