“How can anyone resist this truly extraordinary wine that redefines Beaujolais? (James Suckling)”

“How can one resist this truly extraordinary wine that redefines Beaujolais? Both extremely concentrated and incredibly elegant, it exudes an almost supernatural liveliness that propels it beyond the appellation’s conventions. Its delicate salinity adds an extra dimension of tension on the finish, making this wine dangerously captivating. Yes, there is a profusion of dark fruit, but none of it is excessive.” (James Suckling 2025)

Rated estate (2023 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable offering, 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 founding 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’s wines grow in precision and balance with each passing year. The 2017 vintage is a great success. We’re not far from that third star!

About the wine:

How can one resist this truly extraordinary wine that redefines Beaujolais? Both extremely concentrated and incredibly elegant, it exudes an almost supernatural liveliness that propels it beyond the appellation’s conventions. Its delicate salinity adds an extra dimension of tension on the finish, making this wine dangerously captivating. Yes, there’s an abundance of dark fruit, but none of it feels excessive. Sourced from a five-hectare plot located in the Aux Caves vineyard. Ready to drink now or worth cellaring.
