Aimé Piroux

Aime Piroux is the name behind a quietly serious project from a winemaker who prefers to let the wine do the talking. A former competitive cyclist, Aime Piroux brings the same discipline and respect for hard graft to the vineyard, farming with a strong commitment to sustainability and treating each parcel individually so its character comes through in the glass. The flagship wine is a Fleurie, from the Beaujolais cru of the same name, made from Gamay grown on pink granite soils. Fleurie has a reputation as one of the most elegant and perfumed of the ten Beaujolais crus, and this version stays true to that style: vibrant red fruit, a touch of floral lift and silky, approachable tannins. Wines Direct is pleased to bring this thoughtfully made Fleurie to Irish customers - a wine that over-delivers for its price and offers a brilliant introduction to serious Beaujolais. Serve it lightly chilled with charcuterie, roast chicken or simply on its own.
