History: This cuvée was created in 1983 in honour of Mademoiselle Marguerite Chabert, President of the Cellar from 1946 to 1984. With the 2009 vintage, a new label was created for this cuvée in the image of Présidente Marguerite’: “Subtil” for the finesse and refinement of this Fleurie. Terroir: Granitic arena. Winemaking & Maturing: The vinification method used is called “Beaujolais vinification” and includes semi-carbonic maceration. It is carried out under immediate and permanent temperature control and can vary from 8 to 15 days depending on the vintage. Maturing in stainless steel vats for 6 to 8 months. Tasting: An intense purplish ruby color. The nose is expressive, marked by notes of red and black fruits (raspberry, cherry) and a touch of sweet spices and undergrowth. The mouth is fleshy, concentrated and balanced. The tannins are velvety, but the structure and concentration give a good aging potential. A charming and complex wine, with a very pleasant aromatic persistence. Culinary Suggestions: Local charcuterie, rib steak, kebabs, ewe\'s milk tomme cheese. Serving temperature: Serve lightly at room temperature between 14 and 16° C. This is a wine that can give pleasure straight away but that also can wait 4 to 5 years in your cellar.
