Tasting notes
This bright and fruit-forward wine delivers vibrant energy, yet remains anchored by a firm structural backbone. The lively tannins bring a dynamic tension to the palate, offering a dry edge that promises to soften and integrate beautifully with time. While youthful and expressive now, it shows clear potential for graceful evolution in the cellar.

More About The Winery
Located in the heart of Beaujolais, Domaine du Clos du Fief is a 17-hectare family estate now led by Sylvain Tête, who returned after formative experiences at Château Thivin and Domaine Saumaize. Bringing fresh energy and vision, he works with permanent cover crops, under-vine cultivation, and small chenillard engines to farm even the steepest slopes with care and precision.
In the cellar, Sylvain remains true to Beaujolais tradition, employing semi-carbonic macerations and submerged caps, techniques that highlight the finesse and fruit purity of Gamay while ensuring structure and balance.
The wines of Clos du Fief are gaining attention for their authenticity, terroir expression, and ageing potential. As noted by William Kelley (The Wine Advocate):
"These new releases show considerable promise, highlighting the progress that has been made in the last few years, and it's clear that this is a domaine to watch."
