2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

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

About wine:

Already noted in the 2013 vintage, this cuvée—made from sixty-year-old vines—delivers a devilishly seductive nose, both refined and powerful, featuring ripe morello cherries accented by a hint of kirsch. Equally pleasing, the full-bodied, rich, and opulent palate unfolds with fine, smooth tannins, held together by a freshness that enhances the fruit and lends length to the finish. A lasting pleasure.

About the estate:

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