Fleurie "La Madone"

Located at the northern extremity of the Rhône department, on the border with that of Saône-et-Loire, the Fleurie Cru is bordered by that of Moulin-à-Vent to the north, Morgon to the south and Chiroubles to the west. Fleurie has been called the "Queen of the Beaujolais" and its wines are considered to be the most "delicate" of all the Crus.
The plot is planted of the hill of Fleurie, at the foot of the historic Chapel of the Madonna, which gave this Climat its name. It is considered to be one of the most celebrated of all the Beaujolais wines.
