Vineyard
Producing commune: Fleurie.
Site: between Moulin-à-Vent and Chiroubles, Fleurie is certainly one of the most celebrated of the ten Crus of Beaujolais; the vineyard is planted on a slope below the main ridge of hills and is oriented south-east, north-west.
History & Tradition: at the foot of the Chapel of the Black Virgin. The « Gobelet » pruning probably goes back to the Greek or Roman period.
Soil: pink granite, thin and acidic.

Tasting
by Véronique Boss-Drouhin
Fleurie is certainly worthy of its name! It possesses great charm and delicacy, with its luminous raspberry color, aromas of lilac, violet and gooseberry. Very supple and silky in the mouth. Leaves a beautiful impression of fine aromas. It is the most delicate of the Beaujolais Crus.
Vintage
2021 Beaujolais wines show pretty bright colours with a purplish reflection and deliver aromas of red and black fruits mingling with slightly spicy notes.
