Chateau de Raousset Fleurie Grille Midi

Sunlit but never blowsy, this Fleurie opens with ripe raspberry, red cherry, and peony, edged by crushed stone, pink peppercorn, and a faint suggestion of warm herbs carried on afternoon air. The palate is supple and flowing, with juicy red fruit gliding over a fine-grained, granite-derived minerality that keeps everything lifted and precise. Tannins are silky and unobtrusive, acidity bright but integrated, drawing the wine toward a gently savory, floral-tinged finish. A Fleurie that balances generosity with poise, showing the cru’s classic charm while staying firmly grounded in structure and freshness.
