Chateau de Raousset is situated in the commune of Chiroubles within the Beaujolais region of Burgundy. The Chateau itself is to be found between the villages of Fleurie and Morgon and covers 65 hectares of which 35 are laid to vine in 3 different appellations - Chiroubles, Fleurie and Morgon. This award-winning Fleurie is made of Gamay grapes and enjoys a particularly long maceration in the tank before fermentation and 8 months in oak before bottling. 2009 is claimed to be the finest vintage for decades in Beaujolais.

Ruby red in colour, the nose is of red cherries and minerals with a slightly tarry note. Powerful on the palate with a slightly savoury first impression leading to flavours of raspberries and cherries. The finish is tight and tannic. Very good with roast stuffed partridge, lamb shank or a pea soup.
