Reviews and Ratings

Greg Hughes rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Fleurie is always aromatic and fresh - especially for a cru Beaujolais. Almost always its natural juicy and floral character is amped up by the use of partial malolactic fermentation to extract colour and freshness. This one is a good example of that style. It is floral, juicy, crisp, and early drinking.
The colour is a saturated deep-purple, with a ruby core.
Aromas of violet, petunia, rooibos, earth, plum and blackberry. There is a slight toast quality that bears out once it is left to breathe and as it approaches room temperature (this one was better with a ten minute chill, as many Beauj can and should often withstand).
Flavourwise, it has a lot of fresh acidity, some estery banana flavours, wine gums, plum, blackberry, and red apple skin.
The problem with carbonic maceration is that it affects a wines ability to age. It is valued for its freshness, which age ebbs away. Beaujolais crus do age and this one still will for a short time. Drink in the next three years.
Pair it with a honey glazed ham or fall fare.

Domaine Des Quatre Vents Fleurie 2014 is produced by Beaujolais' most renowned négociant, Georges Duboeuf. A small portion of the wine was matured in Troncais oak barrels. Community Wine Reviews
