Domaine Bel Avenir
2010 Chenas Grand Guinchay
Not your normal Beaujolais — this is a serious Gamay that has taken months to vinify, and it has gravitas and style! A little on the lighter, fruitier side compared to our other Beaujolais Crus.
Delicate, with aromas of strawberry, fresh thyme, and a hint of violets. Notable for minerality on the finish with tangy cherry flavors. Light but with the kind of bright acidity that makes a great food wine.
The Creator of This Wine
Domaine Bel Avenir
‘Bel Avenir’, French for ‘bright future’, perfectly embodies the high aspirations of this Beaujolais domaine, which in a short time period has acquired land in some of the best Beaujolais appellations. Combining diligence, ambition and an inclination for wines with strong body, third-generation owner Alain Dardanelli and his wife Cécile create Cru Beaujolais wines with remarkable complexity and personality.
