Stephane Aviron Fleurie Vieilles Vignes 2016 750 ML

Notes of sweet strawberries, plums and red fruit compote introduce the 2016 Fleurie Vieilles Vignes Domaine de la Madrière, a medium to full-bodied, juicy wine that's nicely concentrated but quite firm and structured, especially on the finish.\n \n Producer Information\n Stephane Aviron has adopted an almost radical return to tradition in Beaujolais: sustainable viticulture, extremely old vines and classic Burgundian techniques. His cru Beaujolais drink like fine Burgundy. Historically considered "poor man’s Burgundy," a modern movement toward fruity, simple, quaffing wines boosted sales but eroded the region’s traditional quality. Stephane Aviron has reversed the trend. By focusing on the Beaujolais village crus, the best sites for unique, expressive wines, and finding old parcels of vines, Aviron creates very expressive, age-worthy wines relying on traditional and new methods, including organic and biodynamic vineyard management. All wines are labeled "Vieilles Vignes," old vines, because the vines are at least 40 years old. Stephane Aviron’s wines are authentic in every way.
