Laura Lardy Fleurie Les Côtes 2022 Review
Laura Lardy is the fourth generation of a Beaujolais winemaking family. As the story typically goes, she initially wanted to avoid going into the family business, but after a brief stint working in another industry, the vineyards called her back. Laura rents vineyards from her father, Lucien, which she started to convert to organic agriculture in 2017. We are thankful that she returned to winemaking, because this cru Beaujolais is delicious. It has a nose of raspberries, juicy cherries, and that aroma of dried leaves on the forest floor. The palate is a wonderful balance between earthy fruit depth and vibrant acidity that Gamay loves to give. A great introduction to the Fleurie cru if you're new to it.
