2023 Le Fleurt
100% Pinot Noir
The French know how to flirt. In fact, both men and women consider "la seduction" to be one of the most enjoyable things in life...a lingering glance or an amorous comment is perfectly natural on the streets of Paris. A writer once said, "Americans consider the sidewalk an anonymous backstage space, whereas for the French it is the stage itself."
The "Fleurt" is my tribute to two cultural pastimes in France:wine and flirting. Now, uncork a bottle and go flirt with someone. Here's to "la seduction" and à votre santé!

Tasting Notes
There's a yin-yang between the Chenin Blanc and Viognier. The Viognier is fragrantly floral with subtle minerality and notes of lime. The Chenin Blanc lends a spicy and structured character. This blend is balanced and complex.
Food Pairing Notes
Bring on the spicy southeast Asian dishes for this one: Malaysian garlic crab or Vietnamese chicken meatballs in lettuce wraps. I also love Thai pork satay with peanut sauce and fresh basil.
