La Souteronne is made from Gamay - the vines are between 70 to 90 years old. This is a truly superb fruit driven Gamay with an edgy mountain freshness and an attractive Rhône accent that gives it an incisive, meaty drive.
Other Reviews....
Lurid violet. Sharply delineated aromas of mineral-tinged blue fruit, cherry and candied flowers, along with suggestions of exotic spices and musky earth. Juicy and energetic in the mouth, offering palate-staining boysenberry, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors and a touch of succulent herbs. Finishes sweet, velvety and impressively long, leaving floral pastille and smoky mineral notes behind. Made entirely with whole clusters.
