Description
A perfect demonstration of why wines from Fleurie are so popular, the wine is medium-bodied, not too heavy but with plenty of character from the Gamay grape variety.
FOOD PAIRING, STORING AND SERVICE: With several years of age, this is an interesting food match and one that is surprisingly (given it’s not a classic, firm-structured wine such as a Bordeaux) versatile and good at food pairing. Try with tuna steak or baked fish with herbs, or duck confit. While it might be overpowered by a gutsy winter stew, given its complexity of flavour and freshness, it would work well with a soup or lighter stew with lots of different vegetables and seasonings, eg a minestrone or spring vegetable stew.
ABOUT: Cedric Chignard is based in Fleurie itself, a well-regarded Cru vineyard area which lies within the larger region of Beaujolais in France.
