2022 Guy Breton Fleurie

The 2022 Guy Breton Fleurie is produced in the Fleurie appellation of Beaujolais using natural, low-intervention methods championed by Guy Breton and his peers. Made exclusively from Gamay grapes, the wine is vinified with extended cold macerations—a technique that enhances extraction while preserving the grape’s inherent character. This approach, combined with the region’s distinctive terroir, yields a wine with a vibrant ruby color accented by purple highlights, exemplifying a shift from mass production toward a more artisanal, terroir‐driven philosophy.
