2022 Guy Breton Fleurie

The 2022 Guy Breton Fleurie captures the essence of the Fleurie appellation, known as the 'Queen of Beaujolais.' Guy Breton, one of the legendary 'Gang of Four' alongside Marcel Lapierre, Jean-Paul Thévenet, and Jean Foillard, helped transform Beaujolais into a serious wine-producing region through natural methods and techniques that respect the land. This Gamay showcases his signature style defined by long, cold macerations, resulting in an elegant wine with buffed tannins that exemplifies the quality and character of modern Beaujolais winemaking.
