"Beaujolais in a large bottle"
“The breathtaking nose of black cherry and spices might just knock you back in your chair for a moment, but that’s how this magnificent Beaujolais presents itself. Excellent concentration and a beautiful balance between freshness and spicy depth, beautifully integrated, with fine tannins and a long finish that showcases a lovely marriage of dark chocolate and minerality. Drink now or lay it down. ” (James Suckling 2021). Especially in magnum format, this wine has the ideal profile to age beautifully in the cellar for many years.

Rated estate (2023 guide) 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly 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. There, she learned the craft of viticulture and winemaking before establishing 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 achieves greater precision and balance with each passing year. 2017 is a great success. We’re not far from that third star!

Rated estate (2022 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)
About the wine:
This richly structured wine hails from the Les Caves vineyard. With smoky notes from oak aging, dense black fruit, and a solid structure with aging-worthy tannins, it is still quite young. Its aging potential is undeniable, so wait until at least 2022.

About the wine:
The stunning aroma of black cherry and spices might just knock you off your feet for a moment, but that’s exactly how this magnificent Beaujolais presents itself. Excellent concentration and a beautiful balance between freshness and spicy depth, with beautifully integrated, fine tannins and a long finish that showcases a lovely blend of dark chocolate and minerality. Drink now or celller.
