2020 Beaujolais-Villages, Aux Chânes, Domaine des Jeunes Pousses

Description

The wine comes from 50-year-old vines in the hills above Julienas, France. A medium-bodied red, the 2020 vintage features ripe tannins and is a serious and impressive wine to add to the rack.

Best Wine Deals, The Independent (January 2024)

2020 is the first vintage made by Hugo Foizel and Angela Quiblier, custodians of Thibault Liger-Belair’s “incubator” for aspiring vignerons. Aux Chânes is the finest, most elegant cuvée of this exciting project. Fruit is sourced from 50-year-old vines, planted on cool granite hills above Julienas. This altitude results in a wine of wonderful elegance and freshness. The nose offers an explosion of rose petal, raspberry coulis and saline touches. The palate is delightfully pure, with bright summer fruits and a refreshing, mouthwatering finish.

The estate was conceived with the ambition of serving as a vocational vineyard for young winegrowers before they venture out on their own. It provides a valuable learning experience for those aspiring to become autonomous producers.
