2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

“Already notable in the 2013 vintage, this cuvée—crafted from sixty-year-old vines—offers a devilishly seductive nose, both refined and powerful, with notes of ripe morello cherry accented by a hint of kirsch. Equally pleasing, the full-bodied, rich, and opulent palate unfolds with fine, smooth tannins, balanced by a freshness that enhances the fruit and lends length to the finish. A lasting pleasure.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2016)

About the wine:

Already notable in the 2013 vintage, this cuvée—crafted from sixty-year-old vines—offers a devilishly seductive nose, both refined and powerful, with notes of ripe morello cherry accented by a hint of kirsch. Equally pleasing, the full-bodied, rich, and opulent palate unfolds with fine, velvety tannins, balanced by a freshness that enhances the fruit and lends length to the finish. A lasting pleasure.

About the estate:

Jean-Marc Monnet established his estate in 1981. Straddling the Mâconnais and Beaujolais regions, his estate produces Saint-Véran as its white wine and two Beaujolais reds: Chiroubles and Juliénas.
