RATINGS

93James Suckling

This Fleurie has explosive floral aromas and is very energetic and focused on the medium-full palate, where the tannins are discreet and the mineral freshness calls the shots right through the vibrant, long finish.

17Jancis Robinson

Gosh, this smells gorgeous! Peonies and very ripe nectarines. Lots of acidity, giving the almost sumptuous fruit a crystal-cut sharpness. Deep, intense strawberry and raspberry fruit with that peony-like fragrance still breathing through the whole length of the wine... Dried thyme, wet mica, cumin. And then finishing back on the fruit – ripe apricot. Persistent. Complex.

REGION

France, Beaujolais, Fleurie

Fleurie is a village located near the center of Beaujolais, and the Beaujolais Cru appellation named for it encompasses nearly 2,000 acres of vineyards. 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. Some 500,000 cases are produced annually. Like nearly everywhere else in Beaujolais, the only grape grown is Gamay. Fleurie the village is charming and quaint and attracts many tourists.

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.
