2017 Chénas, Henry Fessy, Beaujolais
"Some weight and structure comes through here - red fruits and spice with a touch of smokiness and savoury richness." - Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine
Beaujolais, sandwiched between Burgundy “proper” in the North and gastronomic capital Lyon in the South, is one of France’s most outstanding and unique wine regions – the home of the distinctive and sometimes underrated gamay grape.
Found in few of the world’s other regions, it is on these sandy clay and granite soils that it produces its most characterful and exciting wines. In particular, within a short 15km stretch of hillside, we find Beaujolais’ famous ‘Crus’ – the 10 villages which produce the region’s finest wines – from Saint-Amour and Juliénas in the north to Brouilly in the South, each of these villages has a unique terroir and style.
The Red French variety that is responsible for the light and fruity wines of Beaujolais. The wines often have strong red fruit aromas along with high levels of acidity. In Beaujolais where the wines are often produced using a technic known as carbonic maceration the wines are often described as having sweet aromas such as bananas and boiled sweets.
Gamay is also found in the loire where it is used as part of a blend in some of the lighter reds and rosé's of the region.
