This Fleurie Beauj features a nice fruit profile of black cherry, loganberry and red delicious apple skin. What I loved about this wine was the minerality - a granite and limestone residue clung to the cheeks and grew with every sip. The oak seemed a little thick on the back of the palate, but perhaps this will soften after 1-3 more years in the bottle. Worked well with pork chops cooked up in the iron skillet.
