Lucien Lardy Fleurie "Les Viviers" 2021

Lucien Lardy Fleurie "Les Viviers" 2021 comes from the rolling hills of Beaujolais, France, where Gamay grapes thrive in granite-rich soils. This elegant, traditionally crafted wine showcases the essence of Fleurie, a cru known for its finesse and floral character. Hand-harvested grapes and minimal intervention winemaking allow the terroir to shine, delivering a pure expression of the region.

The wine opens with a delicate yet earthy bouquet of dried leaves, fresh violets, and red berries. On the palate, it offers a light to medium body with a silky texture, balanced by low acidity and soft tannins. Tart red fruit flavors, reminiscent of cranberries and wild strawberries, mingle with subtle minerality, leading to an elegant, slightly rustic finish.

Best enjoyed slightly chilled, this Fleurie is a versatile companion to charcuterie, roasted poultry, or mild cheeses. Its freshness and finesse make it perfect for casual sipping or pairing with classic French cuisine. Whether shared with friends or savored alone, "Les Viviers" captures the charm of Beaujolais in every glass.
