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.
コトー・ブルギニヨン
Coteaux Bourguignons
RedPinot Noir
Cave de Fleurie's Coteaux Bourguignons is a Pinot Noir bottling under this regional Burgundy appellation, which permits Beaujolais-zone growers to produce wines from Burgundian varieties. Ruby red with purple glints, it shows aromas of ripe red and black berries and plum, with a supple, fruit-driven palate produced through low-temperature maceration and stainless steel élevage.
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.
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.
