This estate is located in a particularly spectacular position on the slopes
high above the village of Fleurie near to and overlooked by the chapel
of La Madone, from where one has a spectacular panoramic view over the
entire region, and has been in the family for 5 generations. The latest
innovation is a new tasting room and cellar complex, the cellars being
cut into the rock in the hillside below the chapel of La Madone. Wines
from Fleurie don't come much better than these; they achieve the height
of finesse, less heavy than Moulin, but much more floral and subtle, and
are regularly praised by and listed in publications such as Decanter,
Guide Hachette, "La Revue des Vins de France", "Le Classement",
etc. Also included here is a wine by Jean-Marc’s son Arnaud, of
the neighbouring property Domaine du Niagara.
