Bouchard Aîné Fleurie Beaujolais

Elegant. Floral. Pure Gamay vitality.
Fleurie is often called the Queen of Beaujolais, and with good reason. From the granite-rich slopes of one of the region’s most famous crus, this wine shows the delicate, perfumed side of Gamay — light yet complex, charming yet structured. Bouchard Aîné & Fils, a Burgundy-based house with centuries of winemaking heritage, brings elegance and refinement to this Fleurie, producing a wine that beautifully bridges Beaujolais’ joyful spirit with Burgundian finesse.

This Fleurie is bursting with red fruits — think ripe strawberries, raspberries, and a hint of cherry blossom — layered with subtle spice and a silky texture that makes every sip a pleasure. It’s a wine that charms immediately but also reveals depth with each glass, showing how Gamay can be both graceful and expressive.

In Ireland, where Beaujolais is increasingly appreciated for its versatility at the table, Fleurie stands out as a natural partner for gatherings — from Sunday roasts to cosy midweek suppers. Light enough to sip on its own, yet structured enough to complement food, it’s a red that adapts with ease to both casual and elegant moments.

Why we love it:
An elegant Fleurie with bright fruit, floral lift, and a silky palate. Bouchard Aîné brings refinement to this iconic cru, making it a perfect choice for wine lovers in Ireland who want something both approachable and distinguished.
