Découvrez toute la finesse d’un beurre jaune bouton d’or, fruité, authentique et onctueux, aux multiples saveurs qui fleure bon le terroir.
Before anyone comes up with 'fruity', let me just say that I have heard of fruity wine and many other things, but not 'fruity' butter.
Any ideas?

tasty
if a wine or oil is fruité, it's not going to be bland. imo tasty may work but it's just a suggestion.

bright
This term has always puzzled me, particularly when it turns up on cheese (comté fruité), where I'm not inclined to look for fruit flavors. Sometimes wine, etc is described as "bright," when it has a kind of fresh, young flavor. Could that be applied to butter as well? Is it grass-fed? Maybe you could go off the deep end and describe it as "meadow fresh"...

Jocelyne Cuenin
: the idea of fresh fruit is definitely in fruité. mchd l'explique bien dans la discussion. Par ex. les fleurs de pissenlit dans les prés au printemps vont donner un beurre un peu différent.

sweet-flavoured, flavoursome and summery
If you really can't go with fruity butter, and I'm with you on that one, it you are going to be faithful to the original, then you could get quite close with sweet-flavoured, - tasting, or even something more evocative than taste related with "summery". Not easy to avoid images of the "famille Ricoré" and "Belle des Champs" on this one! Wondered how you are deailng with buttercups in the butter, by the way.

Maybe the good old trick of checking for original language définitions and synonyms will lead to something?
From what you say Miranda, this would be OTT :
http://dictionnaire.reverso.net/francais-definition/fruité
"qui a le goût du fruit frais"
and you reckon it's more along the lines of :
http://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/fruité/35458
"Se dit d'une odeur ou d'un goût qui rappelle l'odeur ou le goût doux, sucrés d'un fruit.
Se dit d'un vin, d'une eau-de-vie, d'une huile d'olive, d'un fromage qui ont conservé l'arôme et le goût du produit d'origine."
It is a logical adjective with wine and olive oil, but I start to lose the plot when it describes cheese butter. After all, cows don't grow on trees and fruits don't say "meuh".

Oui, c'est toute la difficulté ici. C'est un emploi du terme qui suggère douceur etc.

Discussion
C'est un aliment riche en phosphore, en calcium, en potassium et en protéines. Sa période de dégustation optimale s'étale de juillet à septembre après un affinage de 8 à 12 mois, mais il est aussi excellent de juin à décembre. Les comtés fabriqués à partir de lait produit en hiver seront plus secs et plus forts que ceux produits à partir de lait produit au printemps, où le lait est plus gras et plus fruité. Cela dépend de l'alimentation des vaches : du foin en hiver, de l'herbe et des fleurs variées au printemps
