Memo Summary Notes
The 2023 vintage is a highly concentrated yet elegant expression of Fleurie, which often earns the nickname, "The Queen of Beaujolais."
-
Aroma: Highly aromatic, marked by signature floral notes (violet, rose/lilac) intertwined with bright red and black cherry, candied plum, and a hint of sweet spice or licorice.
-
Palate: The wine is typically medium-bodied with a sleek, velvety texture. It shows a lovely balance between concentrated, dark fruit flavors and vibrant, precise acidity.
-
Structure: It has fine, elegant tannins that provide structure and a long, mineral-driven finish, suggesting good aging potential (many recommend drinking or holding).
-
Fleurie's combination of lightness and structure makes it incredibly versatile:
-
Classic Pairing: Roasted chicken or turkey. Other Dishes: Charcuterie, savory mushroom dishes, grilled tuna, or soft, mild cheeses.

95 Points James Suckling | The stunning nose of black cherries and summer flowers pulls you into this ripe, well-structured yet filigreed medium- to full-bodied Fleurie. Waves of minerality at the very long and elegant finish make this really stand out in the context of an appellation whose wines are often just pretty. From a site with a southerly exposure and a very hard granitic soil. (Vintage 2022).
