"Stunning!"

"The breathtaking nose of black cherry and spice might knock you back in your chair for a moment, but that's how this magnificent Beaujolais presents itself. Excellent concentration and balance between freshness and spicy depth, beautifully integrated, fine tannins and a long finish that displays a beautiful marriage of bitter chocolate and minerality. Drink now or cellar" (James Suckling 2021). Wow, what a wine!

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!

Domain rated (guide 2022) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)

About the wine:

The lieu-dit Les Caves is the source of this richly structured wine. Smoky from wood ageing, dense with black fruit and well-built with ageing tannins, it's still quite young. There's no doubt about its ageing potential, so wait until at least 2022.
