Georges Duboeuf 'Flower Label' Fleurie 2020
Overview
 |
This wine has a bright garnet color. It is a sumptuous and languorous Fleurie with a nose of red and black fruits in jam, and violet and lilac scents. A heady fruitiness generously coats an ample palate, surrounded by velvety, silky tannins that reinforce the roundness and smoothness of the wine. |
