"Already noted in the 2013 vintage, this cuvée born of sixty-year-old vines delivers a devilishly seductive nose, both fine and powerful, of ripe Morello cherry underscored by a hint of kirsch. Equally pleasing, the full, rich, fat palate unfurls fine, smooth tannins, tautened by a freshness that exalts the fruit and lends length to the finish. A lasting pleasure". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

About the wine:
Already noted in the 2013 vintage, this cuvée born of sixty-year-old vines delivers a devilishly seductive nose, both fine and powerful, of ripe Morello cherry underscored by a hint of kirsch. Equally pleasing, the ample, rich, fat palate unfurls fine, smooth tannins, tautened by a freshness that exalts the fruit and lends length to the finish. A lasting pleasure.
About the domain :
Jean-Marc Monnet set up in business in 1981. Straddling the Mâconnais and Beaujolais regions, his estate produces white Saint-Véran and red Beaujolais crus: Chiroubles and Juliénas.
