Born to Algerian parents, Karim was adopted as a child by the Vionnets in Morgon. He has worked with the region’s greats—Lapierre, Breton, Foillard—as a vineyard- and cellar-hand, as well as assistant winemaker. He alongside his daughter Noemie now farm 5ha across Beaujolais-Villages, Chiroubles, Chenas and Fleurie.
This is the younger of their two Chénas sites at 40-years-old. Classically proportioned in its savoury, gamey, herbaceous robe, but, as per, belied by an inherent energy that propels the elbow’s bend.
