Despres - La Madone

Vintage: 2006
Type: Fleurie
Country: France - Beaujolais



DESCRIPTION
The colour of this wine really impressed me. It was deep purple. The aroma was equally impressive: intense fruits with a hint of flowers. The producer recommended drinking the wine now, as is, but also keeping it for 5+ years. I imagine this wine would complement a gorgeous lamb roast or hearty beef stew.

Despres - Domain du Niagara

Vintage: 2007
Type: Fleurie
Country: France - Beaujolais



DESCRIPTION
This is a very different Fleurie, if you are used to drinking Georges Duoeuf's Fleuries. This wine is robust and full-bodied. The producer recommends that the bottle be kept a year or two in order to fully reveal the wine's intense flavours of blackcurrants and wild blackberries.

One of my favourites. A great colour, excellent bouquet and an amazing flavour. It isn’t overpowering so it will go well with most food. If you can get a hold of a bottle, try it!
