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: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
