Staff Pick Notes

Domaine du Clos du Fief is a fourth generation vineyard in Julienas, one of the most famous area for Gamay grape growing. Sylvain, after studying viticulture and working in Australia in the Hunter Valley, joined his father Michele Tete in 2015.The vines are 45 years old and produce beautiful fruit.

Fresh and lively it can be enjoyed now but it can evolve in the bottle a little longer. I would pair it with creamy, soft cheeses, such as goat cheese or Camembert!

Beaujolais Nouveau is perhaps the most gulpable wine made anywhere, and it should be drunk very soon after its release, which occurs each year on the...
