Georges Duboeuf Fleurie Majors 2016
Fleurie is a terroir that sits on hillsides of beautiful pink granite covered in climbing vines, working their roots into the rocks to draw their substance and infuse Fleurie wine with the scent and spirit of this elegant appellation. If Moulin-à-Vent is the King of the Beaujolais region, Fleurie is its Queen. Made from 100% Gamay grapes, this is a deliciously voluptuous, rich and silky red wine with an extraordinary subtle and fragrant refinement, displaying fruity aromas of wild strawberries and raspberries. Beautifully presented in a skittle shape bottle this is one of the most popular cru's of Beaujolais expertly crafted from one of the regions true superstars.
