« The 2019 Fleurie Les Deux Granites has turned out beautifully, offering up lovely aromas of plums, raspberries, spices and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, supple and enveloping, it's deep and nicely concentrated, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a penetrating finish. This is well worth seeking out. »

« Belle robe rouge vif, reflets violacés. Nez plaisant mariant notes fruitées et tonalités minérales et végétales. En bouche une matière très soyeuse, une très belle qualité de fruit. La finale est croquante, légèrement épicée avec une belle typicité gamay. »
