$125.00
Description
“A very pleasing even red colour, the fruit swarms smoothly over the granite structure, this is gorgeous with a svelte yet profound covering of strawberry over the bones. Accessible early but with some extra keeping qualities.” 90-92 POINTS, 4 STAR RATING, Jasper Morris MW 2024
“The 2023 Fleurie Joie de Palais comes from a very steep slope with a 40% to 50% grade, worked exclusively by hand or horse. The wine opens with broad shoulders to reveal a lush concentration of flavors—stewed berries, plums, sweet soil, thyme and spice. The wine gains precision along the palate with its lining of fine-grained tannins that taper the fruit while simultaneously allowing its layered mid-palate to unfold. This is an elegant wine, one that needs a few years in bottle to reveal its finest.” 91+ POINTS, Kenna Wells, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, Mar 2025
