Anne Sophie Dubois Fleurie "Les Labourons" '21

Les Labourons is a lieu-dit in Fleurie where all of Anne-Sophie's vines are located. The new wine is a selection of the best bunches from the old-vine parcel—in essence, her finest grapes. The fruit is 100% destemmed and aged for about 13 months in 228-liter neutral oak barrels. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. This wine brilliantly captures the elements of its terroir, with flavors of cherry and other bright red fruit. The granite-influenced minerality is also marked by gritty tannins and a dusty finish, unmistakably of the region and its soil. You can try a bottle now, but also lay some away, drinking now - 2033.
