Description
In a nutshell:
A charming Beaujolais Cru that shows all Fleurie's signature floral elegance and silky texture, with vibrant red fruit adding a touch of freshness.
The lowdown:
Fleurie tends to be the go-to Beaujolais Cru for many, maybe because it's relatively easy to pronounce, but there's more to it than that. The 'La Madone' vineyard, with its pink sandstone soils, is ideal for bringing out the best in Gamay grapes. Whole-bunch fermentation and a quick stint in old oak give it a bit of structure without overshadowing the juicy, ripe strawberry fruit. It's a cracking Fleurie and a fair few notches above simpler Beaujolais gluggers.
The Producer:
Boutinot, the guys responsible for this wine, is a big name in the UK's wine scene and are behind many labels seen on shelves up and down the country. Paul Boutinot kicked things off in 1980, starting with importing wines and soon partnering with winemakers around the globe. They've since gone on to produce their own wines from places like the Rhône Valley, Italy, South Africa and many other places. Their secret is in backing passionate winemakers who aren't afraid to push the envelope, always aiming for wines that really capture the essence of their regions. This, along with providing excellent value for money, is something they've really nailed.
When to drink:
Slightly chilled, it's a cracking summer red. With food, great with roast chicken, grilled guinea fowl, or turkey breast - the silky texture and bright, fruity flavours are spot-on.
Suitable for Vegans
