The traditional vintage constitutes the majority of what is produced in the vineyard. Vinified using the whole grape, & fermented over a period of 7-8 days, it encapsulates all the qualities one would expect from a Fleurie wine.

- cherry, strawberry & raspberry with a lick of cream & spice. It has good concentration & perfect balance. Ready to drink now, it will evolve over the coming three to four years.
