Bright, beautiful and attention grabbing, this wine makes you feel like no-one else is in the room. The floral fragrance leaps out and dances with rose, violets, pink pepper and tuberose on sweet red berries. Aromatic is an understatement. Silky. Playful. Racy acidity. Gimme more.

Pierre Chermette is a legend of Beaujolais, consistently making great wine. Tending to many vineyard plots, Pierre knows how to capture the full spectrum of what Gamay can do. These wines are never linear in quality from entry to expensive, they are all high quality at every price point. Wine is made with wisdom and authenticity to place. Using sustainable agricultural practices, everything is done by hand, with grapes picked as concentrated and ripe as possible. Although they are traditional in the cellar, there is nothing gritty or green in these Beaujolais flavours. The style is full, silky and concentrated, and wines that both drink well early and can age remarkably well. Fleurie is a 'cru' area in Beaujolais, that loads of great producers make wine from. “Fleur,” means “flower” in French, and indeed the wines of Fleurie are characterized by a distinct floral note so powerful you'd think its synthesised. Think a posie of violets smashed in your face. That is Fleurie.
