Fleurie Grille-Midi 2022

$28.95 Sale Save


Sourced from a parcel in the renowned Grille-Midi vineyard, known for its 50-year-old vines planted on pink granite soil. The grapes are organically farmed by Thibault himself and are hand-harvested before undergoing traditional whole-bunch carbonic maceration. This is followed by spontaneous fermentation and 8 months of aging on fine lees in old barriques. With no fining, no filtration, and only a minimal addition of sulfur at bottling, this wine showcases the pure expression of the terroir. It’s floral, fresh, and fascinating, with a well-built palate and a vivid, succulent finish.
Fun Fact: Fleurie is one of the ten crus of Beaujolais, known for producing some of the most elegant and aromatic wines in the region. The pink granite soils of the Grille-Midi vineyard contribute to the wine’s distinctive minerality and vibrant acidity, making it a highly sought-after terroir for Gamay.
