Fleurie: Domaine du Niagara

Offering a deep ruby red, Beaujolais is more than just a wine; it's an agricultural region that produces as many as 2.3 billion bottles of red wine per year. This French wine is renowned for its fruity taste and robust structure and has been popular since the 19th century. Beaujolais wines are also rich in pigments of carotenoids which give the wines their characteristic dark purple hue. The wine is typically made from the Gamay grape which is one of the darkest of red grapes.

Created in September 1936, Fleurie is one of 10 Crus in Beaujolais, and is often known as the most feminine of them all, producing elegant wines with extraordinary finesse. “The Queen of Beaujolais” is also one of the most consistent in quality, thanks to the commune’s prestigious terroir: pink soils, ideal sun exposure and attractive elevation at altitudes averaging 340 metres.
