Château de Pougelon’s Fleurie "Grille-Midi" 2023 is an exquisite, terroir-driven cru expression from Beaujolais, hailing from one of the appellation’s most esteemed warm-exposure lieux-dits over classic pink granite soils. Pours a brilliant, translucent ruby-red with sparkling highlights in the glass, it opens with a highly expressive and aromatic nose of fresh raspberry, wild redcurrant, and crushed cherry, beautifully laced with floral nuances of violet and lilac. Medium-light-bodied, silky, and vibrant on the palate, it delivers a harmonious, fruit-forward core of red berries balanced by a refreshing, clean acidity and ultra-fine, supple tannins. It culminates in a long, graceful, and persistently mineral finish that highlights the unique elegance and finesse of its celebrated microclimate.
