Fleurie's vineyards stretch across rolling hills and valleys before gently descending toward the Saône plain. Thanks to the velvety texture of its wines, Fleurie is often considered the most feminine cru of Beaujolais. The nose charms with aromas of small berries alongside subtle oak-aged smoky notes. The palate is refined, elegant, and precise, with bright berry notes throughout.
