Description

Domaine des Fonds Fleurie is classic Fleurie, a light fruity red wine. This is a lighter style of Gamay than some Beaujolais wines and when I say lighter I mean lighter in body but not in complexity. Fruity characteristics dominate this wine with lots of red fruit flavours & aromas like redcurrants, strawberries & red cherries and hints of rose petals. Savoury meaty notes are starting to develop but a swirl of the glass makes the fruit aromas come forward again. This wine is beautifully made with no added sulphur. In brief this is a lovely soft fruity red wine with a lovely freshness and elegance. It makes a great summer red wine but its elegance makes it a good choice for any time of year. Fleurie is one of the 10 Beaujolais crus (cru here meaning a wine producing area rather than a single vineyard) and is noted for its more ‘feminine’ style, lighter body and floral aromas just like Domaine des Fonds Fleurie. For another Beaujolias Cru, try Manoir du Carra Cru Juliénas “Les Bottières”.

 

Beaujolais wines, made 100% from the Gamay grape, are the quintessential fruity wine. Memories of characterless, peardrop-scented Beaujolais Nouveau mean that the name “Beaujolais” can often send a shudder down the spine. But it is possible to find superb wines in the Beaujolais region especially in the higher classified wines of the crus Beaujolais. Fleurie is one of the 10 crus (cru here meaning a wine producing area rather than a single vineyard) and is noted for its more ‘feminine’ style, lighter body and floral aromas. And, because the crus Beaujolais are no longer particularly fashionable, they are often relatively good value.

 

The Berrod family produces Domaine des Fonds Fleurie and all its wines with minimal intervention. They have gained HVE certification, confirming their sustainable approach, and are working most of their 17 hectare estate organically. They use concrete tanks for maceration and stainless steel for ageing which help preserve the fruity characteristic of the wine.

 

I have both the 2021 and the 2022 vintages in stock.
