"Stunning!"
"Stunning nose of ripe blackberries, black cherries and smoke, with just a touch of balsamic vinegar. Ripe and firm with a ton of crushed-stone minerality. Very radical, but in the best possible way! All this needs a little time in bottle to patinate the fine tannins and lively acidity. Great ageing potential! Drink now, but best from 2024". (James Suckling 2022). 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!

Note and review by M. MATHIEU W. Published on 24/12/2022
Heerlijk crispy rood fruit, de noodzakelijke aardsheid en de fijne zuren en tannine die voor grip en spanning zorgen. Hele mooie Morgon met zelfs nog rijpingspotentieel. Goede representant van de appellatie Morgon. Score: 16/20
