Domaine Bertrand’s 2021 Fleurie is beautifully perfumed with notes of red plum, cranberry, spring flowers, and chalky minerality. On the palate, the wine shows bright red fruited flavors of strawberry and raspberry. It starts off tart and crunchy from the fruit and acidity, then fades to a slightly rounded ending with a pleasantly staying finish. The wine is delicate and approachable all at once.
