Fleurie
Fleurie is the third largest Beaujolais cru, covering 800 hectares. The decree recognizing the Fleurie appellation dates from September 11, 1936.

The Fleurie appellation covers a cultivated area of around 870 hectares, with annual production of around 45,000 hectolitres. The grape variety used is exclusively Gamay noir with white juice, for production exclusively of red wine. Fleurie wine is produced on an exclusively granitic subsoil that imparts finesse and charm to the wine.

The cru boasts 13 different climats listed by the INAO, all of which are terroirs producing a distinctive type of wine. From north to south of the Fleurie appellation, these include Labourons, Poncié, les Moriers, la Roilette, les Garants, Montgenas, la Chapelle des Bois, la Cote, le Bon Cru and Champagne. Fleurie seduces with its velvety, elegant, floral and fruity aromas of iris, violet, wilted rose, peach, blackcurrant and red fruit. With its lovely carmine color, it is often considered the most feminine of the Beaujolais crus. Perhaps this is due to the Madonna de Fleurie who, perched atop her hill, watches over the vines. This femininity is particularly evident in the crus of Domaine de La Motte, Domaine Chignard, Domaine de La Madone, Domaine du Vissoux and the wines produced under the aegis of Maison Coquard.

"Late harvest, gamay that deserves praise!"

This selection of old vines (over 60 years old) gives a high concentration and intensity of fruit that is reflected in the glass. Its ruby-red color reveals a fine texture. The delicate nose reveals aromas of fruit, spices and smoke. Its delicate attack and velvety texture evolve into a fine, racy chewiness. Beautiful intensity.

"A wine for laying down (RVF)!

"2023 confirms the estate's good momentum, with a wine that combines the power of Fleurie with that of the vintage, testifying to the great care taken with extraction and ageing, as well as a fine mastery of the whole harvest, bringing the welcome impetus and fine vegetality. A wine for laying down". (Le Guide RVF 2025) A flagship cuvee from this Fleurie landmark!

"Precise and racy

This Fleurie is full of character and pure fruit. An open nose suggesting stone fruit, a round, suave palate, intense concentration, we crunch in a dense, fleshy mouth. A precise, racy cru to discover. Limited quantities available.

Melting and finely structured, it's a refreshing, ethereal wine that's already drinking well." (Wine Advocate 2022) An irresistible cuvée!

"The stunning nose of black cherries and summer flowers draws you into this ripe, well-structured yet filigree, medium to full-bodied Fleurie. The waves of minerality on the finish, very long and elegant, make this wine really stand out in the context of an appellation whose wines are often just pretty." (James Suckling 2024)

"A bouquet of fresh fruit and a long, elegant finish.

"Very well structured, restrained and elegant with a fresh, delicate personality for this warm vintage, this is a really striking Fleurie. I love the interplay between tart cherry and fine tannins on a concentrated, elegant palate. It develops slowly in the glass as it airs. Very long and elegant finish". (James Suckling 2023)

"A lively, zesty Fleurie, whose aromas of ripe red cherry, strawberry and summer flowers are accompanied by slightly sappy tannins. It could well improve with bottle age, as there's nothing green about it." (James Suckling 2023)

"Length and power

"Afraid of frost or hail? In any case, this cuvée refers to the nickname of the Madonna chapel overlooking the vineyard... With its great aromatic intensity, it's a relaxing wine. It evokes stewed fruit, cocoa and mocha. A beautiful marriage between wood and wine, which is confirmed on the palate with length and silkiness". (Le Guide Hachette 2024)

"Concentrated Gamay

Thanks to old vines whose grapes are smaller and more concentrated, this wine is a veritable condensation of Gamay's finest aromas. It's a wine for laying down that will charm you with the finesse and purity of its fruit.
