Among the ten Beaujolais crus, Fleurie is undoubtedly the most ethereal, the most floral, and Domaine Bélicard offers a natural and elegant interpretation here. This 100% Gamay Noir, organically certified, grows on the granitic slopes of the cru, which give this wine remarkable mineral finesse.
The grapes, picked at perfect ripeness, undergo a short maceration of a few days to extract just enough matter without harshness. Fermentation occurs naturally, without exogenous yeasts or additives. The six-month aging takes place in barrels that have held several wines (not new), bringing complexity and suppleness without masking the fruit.
The nose is expressive, featuring fresh red fruits, violet, and a subtle spicy touch. On the palate, the texture is fine, the structure supple yet present, with a mineral tension that lengthens the finish. The style is silky, digestible, almost floral, but without mawkishness – a straightforward, vibrant, and well-balanced Fleurie.
Served between 14 and 16 °C, this wine will pair equally well with a refined aperitif or light, vegetable-based cuisine. It will also shine with roasted poultry or delicate festive dishes. Drink now or cellar for up to 5 years.
