Clos de la Roilette Fleurie Cuvee Tardive 2018 - First Bottle

Reviews

95 Vinous - Read

Youthful purple. A complex, highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red/blue fruits, baking spices and potpourri, with hints of blood orange and savory herbs emerging with aeration. Juicy, densely packed mulberry and boysenberry flavors show excellent clarity and powerful back-end thrust becoming sweeter with air. Shows serious power and sexy, floral lift on the impressively persistent finish, which is supported by slowly building, youthfully gripping tannins.

95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - Read

Coudert's brilliant 2018 Fleurie Cuvée Tardive offers up a deep and incipiently complex bouquet featuring raspberries, mulberries, rose petals, violets and cracked black pepper. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and layered, with an abundance of rich and powdery structuring tannins, ripe but lively acids and a long, lingering finish. While this is built for the long haul—its name alluding to the aging potential of this old-vine cuvée, not to a later harvest—its enveloping profile and perfectly mature phenolics will make it unusually approachable in its youth.

Got some? Good. It will disappear.

As it should -- if you’re new to Fleurie, or Cru Beaujolais in general, GET READY. Clos de la Roilette is a rockstar in the region, and this wine will challenge everything you thought you knew about Gamay. Wildly complex, layered and saturating, all while dancing gracefully on your palate. Just a stunner -- it's a mouthful of pure Gamay goodness with irresistable early appeal combined with ageworthy structure and super high-quality tannins.

Wine this good really should cost a lot more! First come, first served.

About the Producer

The Clos de la Roilette, in the village of Fleurie, covers nine hectares of one of the best slopes in the Beaujolais Crus. In 1967, Fernand Coudert bought this poorly maintained estate and replanted the vineyards. His son Alain joined him in 1984 and has been the winemaker since.
