2022 Karim Vionnet 'Cuvee KV' Beaujolais Villages

Place: Beaujolais, France

Variety: Gamay

Farming: Organic

Born to Algerian parents and adopted into a family in Morgon, Karim Vionnet’s path to wine wasn’t exactly linear — his first trade was baking before Beaujolais pulled him in. Cutting his teeth with natural wine trailblazers like Guy Breton and Marcel Lapierre, he now works as a négociant overseeing organic farming and vinification across old Gamay parcels around the region.

Juicy, vibrant Beaujolais-Villages from Morgon surrounds. Red and dark berries burst from the glass with bright lift and silky glide. Pure, feel-good Gamay — lightly chilled, wildly smashable and gone in no time.
