Karim Vionnet Fleurie shows wonderful ripe fruit on the nose, red berries, black cherry; the palate is richly textured and fresh, more black cherry, flowery notes and a hint of liquorice on the finish. Wonderful bottle of wine.
Organic Principles, Natural
After working with ‘gang of four’ member Guy Breton, Karim Vionnet started his own production in 2000. He was very much influenced (and supervised) by 1980’s natural wine heroes: Breton, Lapierre, Foillard and Thevenet. Karim farms his parcels without chemicals and makes his wines without additives, he says he makes wines that look like him: ‘Natural and unpretentious’
Karim’s parcels are located in the villages of Quincié, Beaujeu and Lantignié, on very varied types of soil, ranging from marls, schists, granite and sand.
Since 2020, Karim's daughter Noemie has joined the estate to the delight of her Dad!
