RATINGS

93Vinous / IWC

Sexy, high-pitched red berry and floral scents are complemented by suggestions of Asian spices and incense. Sweet and penetrating, offering palate-staining raspberry liqueur and lavender pastille flavors give spine and lift by juicy acidity. In a seamless style, with a suave blend of power and finesse. Finishes sappy, sweet and very long, with no rough edges and an emphatic echo of florality.

92James Suckling

A sunny wine with plums, dried strawberries and flowers. Full body, a round mouthfeel and a lovely texture. Bright acidity.

91The Wine Advocate

...very composed bouquet with raspberry, wild strawberry, crushed rose petal and warm brick aromas that are very well defined and seem to gain intensity in the glass...medium-bodied with fleshy ripe red fruit, a keen line of acidity, nicely poised with a crisp and quite sustained finish that fans out wonderfully.

REGION

France, Beaujolais, Fleurie, Grille-Midi

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.
