The 2022 Georges Duboeuf Domaine du Prieuré Fleurie Saint-Romain is a classic Cru Beaujolais that highlights the elegance and aromatic charm of Fleurie, often referred to as the “queen of Beaujolais.” Made from 100% Gamay grown on granitic soils, it reflects both the finesse of the appellation and the warmth of the 2022 vintage. The nose is perfumed and expressive, offering ripe strawberry, cherry and red berries layered with delicate floral notes and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a silky, supple texture and refreshing acidity. Juicy red fruit flavours are complemented by gentle minerality and a soft, elegant structure, leading to a smooth, lingering finish. The style is refined and approachable, emphasizing fragrance, finesse and drinkability over power.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a perfect introduction to Cru Beaujolais—ideal for customers looking for a lighter, more aromatic red with elegance and charm. It’s highly versatile and can even be lightly chilled. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with roast chicken, pork, charcuterie or light grilled dishes.
