The wine region of Fleurie
Beaujolais cru nicknamed the Queen, on the single commune of Fleurie. Signature Gamay noir: floral, perfumed reds with signature notes of violet, iris, strawberry, raspberry, peony and a peppery touch, silky tannins and an airy palate - the most delicate elegance of the crus. 13 recognised climats including Poncié, La Roilette, La Chapelle des Bois. Granitic soils with sandy gruss and manganese signing the finesse.
The wine region of Beaujolais
Kingdom of Gamay (98% of the vineyard): fruity, accessible reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, banana (carbonic maceration), violet and sweet spices, supple tannins and juicy acidity. From festive Beaujolais Nouveau (3rd Thursday of November) to the 10 more structured, age-worthy Crus: deep earthy Morgon, sturdy Moulin-à-Vent, floral Fleurie, crunchy Brouilly. Some lively Chardonnay. 12,000 ha south of Burgundy, granitic soils.
The word of the wine: White winemaking
White wines are obtained by fermentation of the juice after pressing. A pre-fermentation maceration is sometimes practiced to extract the aromatic substances from the skins. White wines are normally made from white grapes, but can also be made from red grapes (blanc de noirs). The grapes are then pressed as soon as they arrive at the vat house without maceration in order to prevent the colouring matter contained in the skins from "staining" the wine.
