ボジョレー・ブラン
Beaujolais Blanc
WhiteChardonnay
Cave de Fleurie's Beaujolais Blanc is a 100% Chardonnay produced from member growers' plots on the schist, granite, and volcanic soils of the region. Hand-harvested grapes undergo brief skin contact before pressing and settling, then a 12-20 day fermentation, resulting in an aromatic white with notes of citrus, white flowers, and stone fruit, balanced between roundness and freshness.
ボジョレー・ヴィラージュ
Beaujolais-Villages
RedGamay
Cave de Fleurie's Beaujolais-Villages is sourced from member growers' plots across the Beaujolais-Villages zone, north of the ten crus. Vinified in the traditional semi-carbonic style, it shows deep garnet color, smoky raspberry and cherry aromas, and a light-bodied, food-friendly palate with soft tannins and bright acidity.
フルーリー
Fleurie
RedGamay
The estate-level Fleurie from Cave de Fleurie, sourced from members' plots across the appellation's pink granite soils. 100% Gamay, vinified using traditional Beaujolais semi-carbonic maceration to preserve freshness and aromatic lift. A generous, fruit-forward expression of the cru, marked by ripe berries, floral perfume, and a silky, velvety texture with fine, powdery tannins.
フルーリレージュ
Fleurilège
RedGamay
Created in 2005, Fleurilège is Cave de Fleurie's premium selection cuvée within the Fleurie appellation, crafted from a careful selection of the cooperative's best parcels. It offers a more concentrated, structured expression of Fleurie than the estate bottling, while retaining the cru's signature elegance and floral perfume.
ジュリエナス
Juliénas
RedGamay
Cave de Fleurie's Juliénas comes from one of the oldest-recognized Beaujolais crus, historically noted for producing some of the region's sturdier, spicier wines. Expect notes of dried red fruit, violet, and a touch of spice, with firmer tannins than the lighter crus, making it a good match for heartier fare.
ムーラン・ナ・ヴァン
Moulin-à-Vent
RedGamay
Cave de Fleurie's Moulin-à-Vent comes from the most structured of the ten Beaujolais crus, known for its manganese-rich soils that give the wine unusual power and aging potential for a Gamay. Expect notes of ripe dark cherry and plum, supple tannins, and a firm backbone that rewards a few years in the cellar.
