The 2023 Georges Duboeuf Domaine du Prieuré Fleurie Saint-Romain is a classic Cru Beaujolais that captures the finesse and aromatic charm of Fleurie, one of the most elegant appellations in the region. Crafted from 100% Gamay grown on granitic soils, it reflects both the warmth of the vintage and the site’s natural floral character. The nose is perfumed and expressive, offering ripe red berries, cherry and wild strawberry layered with notes of violet, rose and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a silky, supple texture and fine tannins. Juicy red fruit flavours are supported by bright acidity and a gentle mineral edge, leading to a smooth, elegant and persistent finish. The style is refined and floral, often described as the most delicate and “feminine” of the Beaujolais crus, combining charm with subtle structure.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a perfect example of elegant Cru Beaujolais—ideal for customers who enjoy lighter, aromatic reds with finesse rather than power. The 2020 vintage adds a touch of richness while maintaining balance. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Best slightly chilled. Perfect with roast chicken, pork, charcuterie or light Mediterranean dishes.
