Moulin à Vent, Domaine Lardy, 2009

Fleurie is all about juiciness and elegance, and the wine produced by Lucien is no exception. Lucien waxes lyrical about the terroir and to prove his point he has recently bought vineyards in other 'climats' of the Fleurie appellation such as 'La Madonne'. We should be able to see the results within the next two years.
Similar to Fleurie, this elegant and refined Beaujolais is rather more complex and structured than its more illustrious neighbour. Made from the Gamay grape variety, it is packed with juicy cherry and strawberry characters, while the light tannins provide a lovely spicy finish. Worth trying it slightly cool!
