2024 Domaine du Clos du Fief Beaujolais Villages

Place: Beaujolais, France

Variety: Gamay

Farming: Organic

Domaine du Clos du Fief is run by father-and-son team Michel and Sylvain Tête, the fourth generation to farm these historic Beaujolais villages. Working from old vines in Juliénas and Jullié, they favour hand harvesting, careful selection and a restrained cellar approach, relying solely on concrete for both fermentation and ageing to preserve freshness and site expression.

Made from 50-year-old vines, this Beaujolais-Villages captures the charm of the region at its most authentic. Bright red berries, delicate florals and lively acidity flow through a supple, buoyant palate. Fresh, fragrant and wonderfully drinkable, it balances purity and energy with a quiet depth that belies its humble classification.
