Fleur de VivaltuS 2018 represents a major leap forward in quality for the Vivaltus project, thanks to the outstanding conditions of the growing season and the masterful blending work of Jean-Claude and his son Jeff Berrouet. An expressive, vibrant nose with an abundance of red and black fruit, complemented by delicate floral notes. Spicy and balsamic nuances—woodland, thyme and rosemary—beautifully enhance the exceptional quality of the fruit. On the palate, the wine displays remarkable freshness and tension, with a smooth, silky texture, great complexity and vibrant acidity that invites another sip. The finish is long, elegant and beautifully balanced. An Atlantic-influenced vintage whose character is reflected in the wine’s remarkable freshness and fruit expression.
