Description

Clos de la Roilette "Cuvee Tardive" 2021

Grape varietal & region: This cuvée is a selection of old vines (over 60 years old) planted on more clayey soil, giving more concentration and intensity of fruit. Roilette's Tardive is sourced from two parcels of eighty-year-old vines perched directly on the border of Fleurie and Moulin-à-Vent, which produces Beaujolais' deepest, most complex and ageworthy wines. Alain Coudert is eager to point out that the division between Fleurie and Moulin-à-Vent begins at the tree line, but the soils are exactly the same.

Taste profile: With a ruby ​​red garnet purplish color, it has a pleasant relief with a fine and serene fabric. The nose with a fine aromatic evolution combines fruits, spices, smoke. On the palate, the attack is fine and regular, with subtle notes of chewiness, present without being hard, finely racy. To be enjoyed relatively young while also being able to reserve a few dark places for it in your cellar and thus combine good 'beef-fashion' and good bourgeois cuisine.
