The wines of Fleurie make a medium bodied Beaujolais, they are characterized by their virile cherry blossom redolence and light velvety tannins, the perfect aperitif wine, Fleurie will drink beautifully alongside good bourgeoise faire.
Georges Duboeuf is a legend of a man and a true winemakers merchant. He grew up among the vines and crushed his first grapes at the age of six. A native of the Pouilly Fuisse appellation, he first became involved with the the fresh young wines of Beaujolais as a contract bottler. His reputation as a gourmande and close association with the great chefs of Burgundy, put Georges Duboeuf on the winelists of fine restaurants throughout all France. Fleurie is a tiny three square miles of pink granite soils in the north of Beaujolais. Whole Gamay grapes are vinified at 30C to the semi carbonic process, Georges Duboeuf Fleurie is then treated to an unwooded maturation for several months before bottling.

More About Georges Duboeuf Winery
Georges Duboeuf is known as the Roi de Beaujolais, The King of Beaujolais
Vines have been growing in Beaujolais since the second or third century, as attested by various writings. What is certain is that Beaujolas owes its name to the Sires of Beaujeu, who reigned over a large and important territory from the 9th to 11th centuries. In 1400, Edouard de Beaujeu gave his lands to the Bourbon. Pierre de Bourbon married Anne de France, Louis XI's daughter, who became known as Anne de Beaujeu and was the Regent of France. She bestowed her patronage on the town of Villefranche, and in 1514 Villefranche was designated the new capital of the Beaujolais. Georges Duboeuf»
