Pop this when you want a white that smells like a flower stall and drinks like a ripe pear. Fleurelle is soft, juicy and properly fragrant, the Muscat in the blend throwing out that pretty floral lift the second you pour. It's the bottle for a slow evening on the balcony, grilled prawns on the go, or just a glass while the delivery rider's still on the road. Low fuss, high charm, and we'll have it at your door fast.
The nose is the showstopper here: violet and white flowers, then juicy Williams pear and white peach. That perfume is the Muscat doing its thing, all delicacy and freshness rather than anything heavy. Take a sip and it's smooth and round, full of orchard fruit, with just enough zip to keep it lively and thirst-quenching. There's a whisper of sweetness on the fruit, but it finishes clean and fresh, not sticky. Easygoing, but there's real charm in the detail.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Maison Gustave Lorentz, a family house in the village of Bergheim in Alsace, northeast France, who've been making wine there since 1836. Alsace sits up against the German border, which is why the labels read like a who's who of aromatic grapes. Fleurelle is their playful blend, the Alsace tradition of mixing several grapes (here Muscat, Pinot Blanc and Sylvaner) into one easy, fragrant white. The vines grow on clay and limestone hillsides around the village, the kind of soils that keep these wines fresh.
