Grape

Gamay

Origin
Fleurie is one of the ten crus of Beaujolais and one of the most sought after. Georges Duboeuf is one of the best known winemakers in this region to the south of Burgundy, and has been nicknamed the King of Beaujolais.
Taste
Classic Fleurie with fresh cherry fruits and a fragrant, floral perfume. Concentrated fruit and light tannic presence are testament to the cru status of this wine. An attractive wine with a silky texture.
Enjoy
Served at cellar temperature (approximately 12oC) this is a refreshing companion to a light summer lunch.

    I'm not worthy

    All the reviews of the 2010 vintage suggest that its a marvellous vintage. Afraid not, in the hands of the legendary beaujolais grape mangler G Duboeuf we have yet another example of why the wines of this region are no better young or aged. This is a true shocker..in fact..i thought we'd past all this nonsense.. Lovely inviting nose, leading to some sort of vegetable acidity.. perhaps its too young... so i left it for 4hrs... 6hrs... 24hrs.. It got worse. The 2nd bottle was exactly the same. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself to one of Majestic proper beaujolais, or get rid of this at xmas parties

    A good compromise

    I like dry stronger reds my wife perhaps not so much. This is a great compromise; enough flavour for me but not too dry for my wife. I wouldn't stretch to pay full price but sub £8 as part of a multibuy is probably fair.

    Satisfactory

    Sadly Georges Duboeuf seems to have lost his flair for sourcing excellence and blending with skill. Perhaps he has grown too big. A reasonable examp;le of Fleuri but there are much more seductive and silky examples to be had at this price.

Staff Reviews

  • "Instantly recognisable, this is possibly the most well-known Beaujolais produced. Soft strawberry fruit and characteristic floral notes on the nose lead into a refined palate that offers great flavour concentration and excellent length."
