Sourced from the Champ*agne lieu-dit, the 2021 Fleurie demonstrates all the luscious qualities that a 2021 could have, with velvety notes of red cherries, spiced plums, crushed purple petals and vine smoke. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has precision and balance with its just-ripe fruit and fine-grained tannins intertwined seamlessly with the tension-driven structure, guided by a backbone of tangy acidity. This interplay leads to a prolonged journey toward a flavorful, tangy finish. This is a spot-on wine from the Foillard team.

Beaujolais is a wine region located in the eastern part of France, known for producing light-bodied red wines made from the Gamay grape. The region has a long history of winemaking dating back to the Roman times, and it was in the 14th century that the Gamay grape was first planted in the region.

The style of production in Beaujolais is unique, as the grapes are fermented using a process called carbonic maceration, which results in a fruity and fresh wine with low tannins. The wines are typically released within a few months of the harvest, and are meant to be consumed young.

There are three main styles of Beaujolais wines: Beaujolais Nouveau, Beaujolais Villages, and Cru Beaujolais. Beaujolais Nouveau is the most famous style, and is released on the third Thursday of November each year, just weeks after the harvest. Beaujolais Villages is a step up in quality, made from grapes grown in the best vineyards of the region. Cru Beaujolais is the highest quality level, made from grapes grown in one of the ten designated cru villages.

Overall, Beaujolais wines are known for their bright fruit flavors, low tannins, and easy-drinking style. They pair well with a variety of foods, including charcuterie, roasted chicken, and grilled vegetables.
