Gem

"Stunning!"

"Stunning nose of ripe blackberries, black cherries, and smoke, with just a hint of balsamic vinegar. Ripe and firm with tons of crushed stone minerality. Very radical, but in the best possible way! All this needs a little time in the bottle to smooth out the fine tannins and lively acidity. Great aging potential! Drink now, but best from 2024." (James Suckling 2022). The small bunches harvested from this plot have produceda cuvée worthy of the greatest wines.

Rated estate (2023 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Originally from Bresse, Anita Khunel, after a brilliant career as a road cyclist (she competed in the World Championships in Slovenia in 1996!), decided to return to the family estate that same year. She learned the trade of viticulture and winemaking before creating her own winery in 2015: Domaine Anita. Today, the estate encompasses six appellations: Moulin-à-Vent, Chénas, Morgon, Fleurie, Beaujolais, and Beaujolais-Villages. Known for her structured style, Anita Kuhnel gains in precision and balance every year. 2017 is a great success. We are not far from the third star!

Review and opinion by Mr. MATHIEU W. Published on 12/24/2022

Delightfully crisp red fruit, the necessary earthiness, and fine acidity and tannins that provide grip and tension. A very nice Morgon with even more aging potential. A good representative of the Morgon appellation. Score: 16/20
