"...especially good and stands out as the finest rendition of this cuvée in recent years. Unfurling in the glass with scents of cherries, warm spices, blood orange, dark chocolate and grilled squab, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, with fine depth at the core and a layered, seamless profile, concluding with a sapid finish."

| | | | "The 2019 Fleurie Cuvée Tardive is especially good and stands out as the finest rendition of this cuvée in recent years. Unfurling in the glass with scents of cherries, warm spices, blood orange, dark chocolate and grilled squab, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, with fine depth at the core and a layered, seamless profile, concluding with a sapid finish. It's a powerful wine but more classically proportioned than its riper 2018 and 2015 counterparts, for example."

| "Transparent garnet and delightfully fresh attack on the nose and, especially, palate. This has taffeta crunchiness and real length in the mouth. With great balance between sweet red fruit flavours and acidity, it really races along. Such pace and lift! It's delightfully easy to drink already but underneath the fruit is lots of fine tannin." 17/20

| More from Clos de la Roilette: |
| | 2019 Clos de la Roilette Fleurie - $23.95 100% Gamay. Being on the border of the Moulin-à-Vent cru, the core of Roilette’s Fleurie terroir is atypical of Fleurie, rich in clay and the mineral manganese instead of all granite; the wines are thus more structured than many Fleurie wines. This bottling comes from vines averaging 30 to 45 years old. They are farmed sustainably and the soils worked by hand, only twice a year and very carefully in order to not do damage to the older plants’ roots. The fruit is hand harvested and fermented in whole clusters with native yeasts in open-top, neutral vats with the cap kept submerged; the maceration for the Fleurie is approximately 14 days. Aging takes places in old foudres until bottling in the summer following harvest.

| Jean Foillard Eponym 2018 - $39.95 "A solid, structured red, showing black cherry, granite with light rust and mineral undertones. It’s full-bodied with a savory, juicy palate that turns lightly tannic and tensioned. Drink or hold."

| Daniel Bouland Bellevue Cailloux 2019 - $31.95 "Derived from older vines in rockier soils, the 2019 Morgon Bellevue Cailloux is even more sensuous and textural than its Sable counterpart. Mingling notions of raspberries and plums with hints of rose petals and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, its powdery tannins almost entirely cloaked in succulent, perfumed fruit."
