Fleurie: Devine countryside for feminine wines.

Grown by 150 professionals, Fleurie gets its intense crimson robe, its floral and fruity aromas of iris, violet, rose, red fruit, and vine peach from the pink granite soil the vines grow in. The monthfeel combines elegance, finesse and a fleshy and silky body. Evolving to notes of spice with the years, this Cru makes the most of the specific geography of the appellation area, backing up on to the a chain of peaks including Avenas, Durbize and Les Labourons. The appellation owes its name to a Roman legionary and not to any old bouquet of flowers. It has 13 different named vineyards or ‘climats' giving characteristic wines; they include La Madone, Grille-Midi, La Chapelle des Bois and Champagne.
