1927 It was on this date that the winegrowers of Fleurie got together to sell their first Beaujolais grapes. Since then, successive families have pursued their commitment to the Cave de Fleurie: the elders have built and developed the image of our winery, with strong, important personalities who have left their mark and helped the whole Beaujolais region to progress. Marguerite Chabert, President from 1946 to 1984, was one of them.
