La Reine de l'Arénite Fleurie 'La Madone' 2021

• Region: Beaujolais

Vineyard Sourced from "La Madone," widely considered the best vineyard site in Fleurie. The vines grow in pink granite sand (arénite) on steep, south-facing slopes. This unique soil and aspect produce fruit with the hallmark floral elegance and ethereal texture for which Fleurie is prized.

Wine A beautifully floral and sophisticated Cru Beaujolais. It offers a fragrant bouquet of violets, rose petals, and red cherries. The palate is silky and light on its feet, showing a refined mineral tension and a refreshing, graceful finish that perfectly represents the high-altitude terroir.
