Wine Expert Note:

Les Bertrand Phénix Fleurie is a delightful red wine from the Fleurie appellation in the Beaujolais region of France. This wine is made from 100% Gamay grapes, which are known for their vibrant fruit flavors and light to medium body. On the nose, Les Bertrand Phénix Fleurie offers enticing aromas of fresh red berries, such as strawberries and raspberries, along with floral notes of violet and rose petals. These aromas are complemented by subtle hints of spice, such as white pepper and cinnamon. The palate of this wine is elegant and well-balanced, with a smooth texture and silky tannins. It showcases the same red fruit flavors found on the nose, with additional layers of cherry and cranberry. There is a refreshing acidity that adds brightness to the wine, making it a perfect companion for a variety of dishes. Les Bertrand Phénix Fleurie is best enjoyed slightly chilled, around 14-16°C (57-61°F), to fully appreciate its vibrant fruit and delicate structure. It pairs wonderfully with grilled salmon, roasted chicken, or even a classic cheese platter. Overall, this Fleurie wine offers a beautiful expression of the Gamay grape, showcasing its fruity and floral characteristics. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to age gracefully for a few years.
