L'Alchimiste represents her most structured cuvée, sourced from older vines rooted in granite soils that define the Fleurie appellation. This 2023 vintage carries the signature fragrance of Fleurie while moving with greater gravity and tension, embodying a thoughtful winemaking approach that allows for slow transformation in both vineyard and cellar. The granite terroir imparts mineral backbone and complexity, creating a wine that balances the floral elegance of Fleurie with substantive structure and aging potential.

Wine Critic Reviews

James Suckling (N/A): I like the violet and cassis notes here mingling with mulberries and purple plums. It’s medium-bodied, fresh and lively, with purple fruit wrapped up in silky tannins. Lots of energy. Drink or hold.
