Domaine de Bel-Air Beaujolais Villages “Les Granits Bleus” 2022

**Domaine de Bel-Air Beaujolais-Villages Gamay**

This Beaujolais-Villages Gamay is abundant with generous fruit. Domaine de Bel-Air, under the stewardship of Jean-Marc Lafont, is renowned for producing Beaujolais wines of great finesse. Jean-Marc’s meticulous work in his vineyards is the emphasis for the winery. The Beaujolais-Villages comes from vineyards surrounding the Domaine on the Bel-Air hill and another in the village of Quincié. The vines, averaging 50 years in age, contribute to the wine’s complexity.

The Beaujolais-Villages “Granits Bleus” offers delightful aromas of raspberries, blackcurrants, black tea, and violets. On the palate, it presents a generous, savoury fruit-driven character with appealing chalky tannins. This wine pairs beautifully with charcuterie and quiche, and also stands out as an excellent aperitif. Ready to enjoy now, it can also be cellared until 2024.
