Aviron's 2011 Fleurie Vieilles Vignes Domaine de la Madriere originates in his wife's family's estate, a fact that will only be indicated on some of the labels utilized for it in t he U.S., while recognition of 'La Madone' will not appear on Aviron Fleurie labels until 2012. (La Madriere was one among several Fleurie sources in the earlier history of Potel-Aviron.) Blueberry tinged with mint, buddleia and freesia inform a high-toned nose and infectiously juicy, sleek palate, with underlying suggestions of wet stone serving to set off the pure fruit and evocative floral notes while a streak of salinity serves for saliva and next-sip inducement. Plan to enjoy this excellent value through 2017. Incidentally, this was the one Aviron 2011 to have been matured in foudre rather than barrique. Score - 91.
