Producer: Domaine Xavier & Nicolas Barbet
Description:
The story begins more than 300 years ago with Jean Loron in the village of Chénas, in the heart of the steep hills of Beaujolais. Unlike his parents who worked in different types of farming (including vineyards) like so many farmers did at that time, Jean decided to specialise in viticulture. It was the beginning of the family’s story.
Tasting Note:
A deep colour. Notes of black fruit (blackberry, cassis and cherries) and spicy aromas of pepper and clove. Fine tannins that suggest a bright future for this wine. The attack is fleshy, slightly sharp with a very aromatic finish.
Food Matches: Mediterranean / White Meat / Risottos / Turkey
