Wine Enthusiast
"Seventy-year-old vines in an almost four-acre plot have produced a dense wine. It is concentrated from the small berries produced by this vineyard, giving the wine richness and longevity potential. Black fruits, a touch of licorice and powerful tannins suggest the wine will be best from 2021." (Wine Enthusiast 2020). The small bunches picked on this parcel have produced a cuvée a cuvée worthy of the greatest.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated (guide 2023) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Originally from Bresse, Anita Khunel, after a brilliant career as a road cyclist (she took part in the World Championships in Slovenia in 1996!) decided to return to the family estate that same year. There, she learned the trade of vine and wine before setting up her own winery in 2015: Domaine Anita. Today, the domaine encompasses six appellations: Moulin-à-Vent, Chénas, Morgon, Fleurie, Beaujolais and Beaujolais-villages. Anita Kuhnel is accustomed to a structured style, but each year her wines gain in precision and balance. 2017 is a great success. We're not far off the third star!

About the wine:
Seventy-year-old vines in a plot of almost four acres have produced a dense wine. It is concentrated from the small berries produced by this vineyard, giving the wine richness and longevity potential. Black fruits, a touch of licorice and powerful tannins suggest the wine will be best from 2021.

Very good structure, fruit, in short a very good morion.

Note and review by M. THIERRY D. Published on 25/08/2020
A very dense, concentrated wine, which may or may not appeal. To be waited for in any case, not very digestible at this stage.

Note and review by M. DAMIEN D. Published on 06/06/2020
A clearly fruity wine with aromas of raspberry, strawberry and cherry. Supple tannins rinsed by rather lively acidity. Very fresh. A very interesting Morgon whose evolution I can't wait to follow...
