2016 Juliénas, Domaine du Clos du Fief, S&M Tête, Beaujolais
A stunning, accessible Cru Beaujolais from Michel Tête. Silky, rich red berry fruit with fine minerality shrouds a wine of purity, definition and poise. In a word? Joyous and awarded 90 points by The Wine Advocate.
"As we edge towards summer, Michel Tete's Juilienas is an inspired choice for alfresco red wine pleasure. Whilst many will turn to a big, bold red to accompany (or possibly conceal) thoroughly singed barbecued fare, I will be enjoying a glass or two of this delightful Beaujolais just as they would in southern France, lightly chilled. This Julienas has enough weight to pair beautifully with grilled meats and a variety of cheeses but it's vibrant red berry fruit and silky texture makes for a deliciously refreshing glass as an aperitif, especially when served lightly chilled." - James Russell-Grant, Mr.Wheeler
Sylvain Tête has recently taken over the winemaking reins from his father Michel, with whom we have been working for decades.
After a spell working in New Zealand, Sylvain brings a fresh approach to an already excellent range of wines. Burgundian winemaking techniques are followed here, to take these Beaujolais to a whole new level.
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.
