The 2015 Fleurie Clos de la Grand’Cour is a strikingly expressive wine that captures both the intensity of the vintage and the finesse of the cru. The nose is perfumed and deep, opening with ripe black cherry, crushed raspberry, and violet, followed by hints of spice, granite, and a subtle earthy undertone. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied but powerful, with concentrated fruit wrapped in fine, chalky tannins and a lively acidity that keeps the ripeness in check. There’s a palpable sense of structure beneath the fruit, giving the wine both elegance and staying power.
