..packed with ripe black cherry and cassis fruit, along with grilled plum, pomegranate, chocolate shavings, spice box and smoke notes. Bright and aromatic, with a light chunkiness to the tannins, but a silky texture overall...

Many admirers of Beaujolais consider the Fleurie appellation to be one of the best, if not the best, of the Cru appellations and its wines are generally lush and aromatic.

TYPE

Red Wine, Gamay, Cru Beaujolais

The Gamay grape produces a light, versatile and food-friendly wine. It is best known for making Beaujolais Nouveau, but it is also grown in Loire and Tours. Thankfully the 14th C. Duke of Burgundy’s degree to ban the grape did not spread through all of France.
