PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
Beaujolais-Villages is the appellation for wines made in the northern part of Beaujolais, where the higher elevation and granite-laden soils bring forth wines that are more concentrated and complex. The incredible terroir is evident in the 2023 Domaine des Nugues Beaujolais-Villages, a total steal at 60% savings!
Domaine des Nugues is a family-owned estate operated by third-generation proprietors Gilles and Magali Gerin. The property is situated in the northern part of Beaujolais, surrounded by the prestigious crus, or sub-appellations, of Moulin à Vent, Fleurie, and Morgon. It has 34 hectares of vineyards, most of which are located in the cru of Beaujolais-Villages.
The 2023 Domaine des Nugues Beaujolais-Villages Nouveau is sourced from vineyards with vines that average 25 years of age planted in soil layered with granite, clay, and sand. It is medium-bodied and silky smooth, with aromas of candied red fruits and a palate resplendent with red cherries, pomegranates, and strawberries. Hints of brambly earth, herbs, and wet stone add layers of complexity, and vibrant acidity brings it to a long finish.
