Fleurie

The terroir and signature of Fleurie

Pink granite, hillsides and aromatic finesse

Located in the north of Beaujolais, Fleurie stretches across hillsides composed of crumbly pink granite. This light, well-drained soil promotes consistent ripening and produces delicate wines marked by great aromatic finesse. The altitude and varied exposures bring freshness and elegance, allowing the Gamay to express its full floral and airy character.

Gamay and the general style of the wines

Gamay reaches a unique level of expressiveness in Fleurie. The wines are distinguished by aromas of violet, peony, raspberry and cherry, always carried by a silky texture. The structure remains light but precise, supported by a discreet minerality. This elegant and harmonious style makes Fleurie one of the most appreciated crus for its delicacy.

Choosing a Fleurie

Aromatic profiles & texture

A typical Fleurie reveals a marked floral bouquet, accompanied by crisp red fruits and sweet spices. On the palate, the wine is supple, with fine tannins and a lingering freshness. The long, fragrant finish confirms the cru's reputation for graceful, accessible wines.

Vintages, ageing and food pairings

Cool vintages accentuate the floral notes and tension, while warmer years offer more roundness and depth. The ageing potential generally varies from three to six years, although some vintages can evolve for longer. At the table, Fleurie pairs well with poultry, white meats, fine charcuterie or vegetarian dishes. Its suppleness and aroma make it a versatile and appealing wine.
