Les Crus du Beaujolais Fleurie Les Garants

The area called Les Garants is one of the Fleurie appellation area’s most noble granitic terroirs. Very well sited (South-West facing) and harvested at full ripeness, the grapes from these vines give a concentrated cuvée. The result, in the mouth, is dense and long, foretelling of really good cellaring potential. The fruit is intense, lively and “sappy”. A cuvée worthy of being called “Queen of Beaujolais”!
