Since 1993, Jacques and Christophe Lanson have run the small family domaine. They are fully signed up to the sustainable practices of Terra Vitis and HVE and by respecting nature, believe they get the very most from their vineyards. For this superb Fleurie Réserve, the grapes are sourced from half-century-old vines, planted on Poncié's south-facing granitic slopes or Les Combes' poor, sandy soils. These ensure even smaller yields than usual (30 hl/ha) and amazing concentration. The brothers do a mixture of whole cluster and destalked berries fermentation to ensure intense fruitiness, as well as the depth and structure that enable their fine wines to age. Still fresh, the wine has mellow fruit complexity – enjoy with sea bass or chicken.
