Olivier Ravier - Fleurie 2023

Olivier Ravier Fleurie 2023

Nicknamed the “Queen of Beaujolais,” Fleurie is known for its delicacy and perfume,  and in 2023, winemaker Olivier Ravier delivers a textbook example of why this cru has such an enduring reputation.

Crafted entirely from Gamay, this wine comes from granitic soils that give structure and minerality to Fleurie’s famously floral character. Ravier is renowned in Beaujolais for coaxing out expressive, elegant wines that balance fruit purity with terroir-driven complexity.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Bursting with violets, rose petals, and wild strawberries.

• Palate: Juicy red cherries and raspberries layered with subtle spice and a touch of minerality. Silky tannins carry a smooth, rounded body.

• Finish: Long, elegant, and perfumed with fresh florals and bright red fruit.

Perfect served slightly chilled, this Fleurie pairs beautifully with roast chicken, grilled salmon, or charcuterie boards. Its freshness and finesse make it equally at home with fine dining or casual evenings with friends.
