Domaine de Bel Air - Beaujolais Villages Les Granits Bleus 2023 750ml

"This Beaujolais-Villages Gamay is generous and fruity.

Domaine de Bel-Air, owned and operated by Jean-Marc Lafont, produces Beaujolais wines of great finesse. It is indeed Jean-Marc’s exemplary work in his well-located vineyards that is the key to these magnificent wines. The Beaujolais-Villages is from a vineyard surrounding the Domaine on the hill of Bel-Air and a vineyard in the village of Quincié. The vines are on average 50 years old and add to the complexity of this wine.

The Beaujolais-Villages “Granits Bleus” draws out delicious flavours of raspberries, blackcurrant, black tea and violet on the nose, with a generous, savoury fruit-driven mouthfeel and delicious chalky tannins. It pairs well with charcuterie, quiche or is perfect by itself as an aperitif. This wine is ready to drink now or can be cellared up until 2024. 100% Gamay." - Clos Cachet

"A juicy and fruity red with notes of dark cherries, plums and undergrowth. Medium body with silky tannins and fresh acidity. Velvety texture with a juicy core of blue fruit on the center-palate and a crunchy finish. Drink now. 91pts" - James Suckling (2022 review)
