The wine
Old-vine Fleurie, the most perfumed of the ten crus. Charming and velvety smooth, showing lovely purity with vibrant floral notes, crushed raspberry and a delicate blueberry lift on the finish. The cru that converts people to Beaujolais.
The producer
Domaine de Colonat
View all Domaine de Colonat winesSince 1828 Domaine de Colonat has passed from father to son; today it is the seventh generation, Thomas Collonge, running the estate with his wife Julie. Thomas took over gradually from his parents from 2008, bringing an eco-friendly approach to the twelve hectares, which span seven Beaujolais appellations, supplemented by long-term contracts with trusted growers. He began converting to organic cultivation in 2017; a third of the estate is now certified, and the whole is sustainably farmed and HVE certified.
The aim is simple: to express the very best of each cru, from granite-soil Beaujolais Villages through Fleurie, Morgon and Moulin-a-Vent. Gamay taken seriously, and priced as though it still were not.
