A luminous ruby-crimson in the glass, this Fleurie from Château de Chénas' Coeur de Granit cuvée opens with an immediately captivating bouquet of fresh red fruits — ripe wild strawberry, crushed raspberry, and violet blossom — lifted by a whisper of peony and a faint mineral coolness that speaks directly to the granite soils of the appellation. On the palate, the wine is silky and generous, with Gamay's characteristic juicy freshness framing flavors of pomegranate, red cherry, and rose petal. The granite terroir lends a precise, almost electric minerality that gives the wine structure and focus without weight. Tannins are fine-grained and barely perceptible, allowing the fruit to glide effortlessly across the palate. A touch of spice — white pepper and a hint of iris — emerges mid-palate, adding complexity to what is an inherently charming and expressive wine. The finish is clean, refreshing, and persistently floral.
