Wines Fleurie Domaine Des Quatre Vents - 2021

Viniou Reviews

The 2021 Domaine Des Quatre Vents Fleurie is a vibrant red wine from the Beaujolais region in France, renowned for its gamay grape, which is the sole varietal used here. This vintage captures the essence of the Fleurie appellation with its bright fruit-forward profile and delicate floral notes. The terroir, characterized by granite soils, imparts a distinctive minerality to the wine. The moderate climate of Beaujolais allows for a perfect ripening season, while traditional vinification techniques preserve its lively character. Domaine Des Quatre Vents, with its esteemed reputation, has crafted a wine that reflects the region's rich viticultural heritage and cultural nuances.

To complement the wine’s nuanced flavours and aromas, consider pairing it with dishes that echo its elegance and complexity. Roast duck with cherries or grilled salmon can accentuate the wine’s fruity and floral notes. Classic regional pairings include coq au vin and charcuterie platters, which harmonize beautifully with the wine’s fresh acidity and supple tannins.

For optimal enjoyment, serve this Fleurie at around 13-15°C. Decanting the wine for about 20-30 minutes will allow it to breathe and enhance its aromatic profile. Begin your tasting by observing its brilliant ruby colour, then take in the bouquet of red berries and violets. On the palate, appreciate the balance between fruit and vibrant acidity, with a satisfying finish that invites another sip.
