The elegant nose is both floral (iris, carnation) and fruity (strawberry, raspberry) with a slight note of nutmeg and a discrete hint of minerality. The palate is full bodied and fleshy, with slightly tangy fruit and perfect balance. The finish is long and intensely fragrant.

Taste this wine with charcuterie board, grilled or roasted meats and poultry, or with medium cheeses.

Located at the northern extremity of the Rhône department, on the border with that of Saône-et-Loire, the Fleurie Cru is bordered by that of Moulin-à-Vent to the north, Morgon to the south and Chiroubles to the west. Fleurie has been called the "Queen of the Beaujolais" and its wines are considered to be the most "delicate" of all the Crus.

The plot is planted of the hill of Fleurie, at the foot of the historic Chapel of the Madonna, which gave this Climat its name. It is considered to be one of the most celebrated of all the Beaujolais wines.

Fermenting maceration in thermoregulated open vats for 9 to 12 days. Aging in stainless steel vats for 8 to 9 months. 

This perfumed wine is full of juicy black fruits over firm, underlying tannins. From one of the iconic sites in Fleurie, it has potential and structure. Drink from 2024. -R.V.
