[SOLD-OUT] Chateau de Beauregard Fleurie 2014

We are in the south of Burgundy, in the Beaujolais region where Fleurie is regarded as the most elegant of the ten Crus of Beaujolais. Total size of the Appellation: 840 ha. The 6 ha of Fleurie owned by the Château de Beauregard are situated in the area called ‘Poncié’, at the border with the Moulin à Vent Appellation. The very homogeneous granite soils of Fleurie are rather thin in ‘Poncié’, especially on the upper part of the steep slopes (450m). From there, one can enjoy the beautiful scenery upon the Saône valley


Harvested at the optimal level of maturity, the grapes are always sorted on a vibrant table. The fermenting and maceration process takes place in our winery in Fleurie (Ancienne Maison Tournissoux in Poncié). We practice a traditional winemaking (opposite to the modern style ‘en Primeur’) including de-stemming and pigeage (thrusting the cap down) and 6 to 9 days maceration. Then about half of our Fleurie is aged in ‘Pièces’ (Burgundian oak casks – 228l) for about 6 to 8 months. The Fleurie of Château de Beauregard is among the most textured of the Fleurie Appellation, reminiscent of the style of the neighbouring Moulin à Vent. It reveals floral aromas (iris, rose petal and violet), dry hay, red fruits (strawberry, blackcurrant) and it seduces on the palate with the velvety smoothness of its flesh.
