Domaine Valma, Fleurie Lieu-Dît 'Les Rangs Tard' 2022
Place: Beaujolais, France
Grape: Gamay
Vibe: Free Flowing
Rangs Tard is a section of the Les Labourons that ripens a bit later, and therefore goes into this separate bottling. The average vine age is older too, most planted in the 50's at very high density and the remainder in the early 2000's at slightly lower but still high density. This is anything but dense, it's actually a dream. You do get the concentration and anise dusted aromatic character that shows some vine maturity, but it's imbued with an innate freshness and vitality. Yippee. Great now, will be even greater after a short spell in bottle. No Worries. ABV: 13%
