Vineyard Notes

Located in the heart of the Beaujolais Crus, the appellation Fleurie is sheltered from the west winds by the Beaujolais mountains, facing a south-east exposure. The plots of Madone’s vine spread up to the foot of the chapel of the Madonna, at an altitude of 425 m, emblem place of the Beaujolais, with a protective virgin statue on the top of a church : Chapelle of Madonna. The Fleurie is well-know for its finesse thanks to the light soil of the slopes : Fleurie is often presented as the most feminine wine of the Beaujolais region.
