James Suckling
"This is a silky red that packs in layers of red berry fruit, lemon peel, crushed rock and lavender. It's medium-bodied, supple and deliciously fresh. Drink now or hold."

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 experience at Château Thivin and Domaine Saumaize. He farms with permanent cover crops, under-vine cultivation and small chenillard engines to work even the steepest slopes with care, and vinifies using semi-carbonic maceration and submerged caps in the Beaujolais tradition.
