Our opinion on the vintage
La Fleur au verre offers a beautiful aromatic palette right from the first sniff. Aromas of fresh fruit express themselves freely, promising a refreshing and delicious experience. On the palate, its texture reveals precise flavors that delight with their vibrancy. Its easy-drinking profile makes this wine enjoyable from start to finish, without any heaviness. The barrel fermentation technique, borrowed from white wines, adds a touch of extra complexity, enriching the sensory experience and resulting in a wine full of character.
