Fleurie
To the north of the wine region, Fleurie has a very special type of geography, with a series of hillocks backing on to a chain of ridges that drop gently down the slopes from a height of up to 450 m to around 220 m. The appellation, whose name has nothing to do with flowers but refers to a Roman legionary.
The Fleurie has an intense crimson colour and reveals a range of fruity and floral aromas: iris, violets, roses, red berries and wild peaches.
The Fleurie is elegant and fine, and generally described as "feminine".
