2015
Tasting
A very beautiful intense dark colour. The slightly woody nose has aromas of very ripe fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry, prune). The mouth opens with an explosion of flavours (candied fruits, vanilla, subtle aromas of brioche) and a finish of great length, worthy of the greatest Bordeaux vintages!
It is all finesse and elegance.

2016
Tasting
This 2016 vintage gives us a very intense purple colour. The slightly woody nose has aromas of black fruits with an almost stewed note. Some subtle scents of vanilla and toast. It is full and silky on the palate. The black fruits still present are felt on a morello cherry background. It is all finesse and elegance.

Tasting
The deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Flaunys has quite a spicy nose with a core of black cherries and mulberries. The palate is full, rich and spicy with soft tannins and a fragrant finish.
