Georges Duboeuf Flowered

Bright red wine full of berry, cherry, and raspberry. Light, but with enough substance to accompany food. Try it with chicken or fried fish. Also nice on its own. Color, taste: red, fruity Grape variety: gamay Country, region: France, Beaujolais Good with: Chicken, Fish Awarded: De Grote Hamersma 8+ Fleurie is a special Beaujolais. It is one of the so-called cru wines. There are 'generic' Beaujolais and the cru wines. For the first, the grapes may come from the entire region, for the cru wines only from specific vineyards in certain villages. This is set by law. The basis for defining these cru wines was the soil and climate of each village. Because of this, one cru tastes very light and another fuller. Fleurie is somewhere in between. In this wine, you taste exactly what you expect from Beaujolais, so lots of red summer fruit, but it has a bit more body and bite than, for example, a Beaujolais Villages. It remains pleasantly light and juicy, but you can also easily eat with it. Think of chicken, salads with bacon bits, or fried fish.
