Elisa Guerin Beaujolais Villages 2021

Winemaker Elisa Guérin is the vibrant force behind the Moulin-à-Vent wine region’s renaissance. She's bringing Gamay back in the spotlight with her enchanting creations! Elisa's journey began with agronomy studies in Dijon, followed by a stint as a Parisian chef's local produce scout. Eventually, she circled back to the family vineyard in Moulin-à-Vent in 2018, reuniting with her childhood pals Ophélie Dutraive and Alex Foillard. The trio shared a vision from the start: to craft exceptional wines from their home turf. The Guérin domaine covers 4.2 hectares in Moulin-à-Vent and an elevated 0.8 hectares in Chirouble. The crown jewel is 'Les Thorins,' a 1.5-hectare plot nestled near the iconic windmill. History buffs, take note: Moulin-à-Vent was once 'Romache-Thorin,' its wines cherished even by King Louis XIV. Moulin-à-Vent's Burgundian influences linger, adding a particularly unique touch to the region.

Elisa hand draws all the charming labels - a wild garden interpretation of her terroir. Beaujolais Villages is made from old vines on volcanic soils. It has that classic Beaujolais red fruit with bright acidity and a hint of baking spice on the finish. Easy, dry, and food friendly. Serve chilled or at room temperature - whatever you prefer. Pair with roast chicken, grilled salmon, pork tenderloin, mushroom dishes, or cheese and charcuterie.
