2011 Coudert Fleurie Clos de la Roilette - France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Fleurie (8/10/2020)
Look back two years in CellarTracker, and you see people saying “drink up.” Well the wine always gets its say, and it says “hold my cork.” This is in a beautiful spot, but nowhere near any kind of downside. The dark fruit and earth tones are deeper than Buffalo Bill’s basement prison hole, and the structure maintains a present, but subtle grip. It’s robust enough to stand up to a sausage and peppers dinner, yet resolved enough for another casual post-dinner glass to glide down as effortlessly as a water park slide. Really impressive, and a nice reminder of how good this wine can be.
