The Domaine de Vissoux in Fleurie follows the philosophy of moderate yields, no chaptalization, indigenous yeasts, no filtering, and either little or no use of sulphur. The 1997 Fleurie Les Garants is medium to dark ruby-colored, and reveals lovely, mouth-watering, red fruit aromas. On the palate, delicious layers of cherry juice and rose petals can be found in this rich, extremely well-crafted, and luscious wine. Drink it over the next 4 years.Imported by Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524.
