Manuel Girard, Fleurie 'Initiatique' 2023 Nebbiolo The grapes were pressed onsitePlace: Beaujolais, France Grape: Gamay Vibe: Fresh As A Daisy Meticulous, is Manuel Girard. Fruit from vines planted within the Champagne Lieu Dit in Fleurie. Good spot. This is dialled in. Plenty of stem showing but they're ripe and adding shape and spice, pairing nicely with the riper fruit from this warm vintage. My notes from this are glowing, with much mention of seduction, brooding fruit and yummy tannin. Dive in. ABV: 14%
