Fleurie | Range | Maison Joseph Drouhin

Between Moulin-à-Vent and Chiroubles, Fleurie is certainly one of the most celebrated of the ten Crus of Beaujolais; the vineyard is planted on a slope below the main ridge of hills and is oriented south-east, north-west. At the foot of the Chapel of the Black Virgin. The « Gobelet » pruning probably goes back to the Greek or Roman period.
