Domaine Chignard 2023 Juliénas "Beauvernay"

Domaine Chignard’s 2023 Juliénas "Beauvernay" is a beautiful expression of Beaujolais crafted from the heart of the Juliénas appellation. Located in the northern reaches of Beaujolais, Domaine Chignard has been producing wines here for generations, priding themselves on a traditional, hands-off approach. The Beauvernay vineyard is blessed with ancient vines, some over 60 years old, rooted in granite-rich soils that give the wine a distinct minerality. Known for their elegance and freshness, Chignard’s wines are vibrant yet structured, with a finesse that speaks to their deep-rooted experience in the region.

In the glass, this gorgeous Thanksgiving-ready Beaujolais offers aromas of wild berries, red currants, and a hint of pepper. It’s a light-bodied wine, but it holds surprising depth and complexity, with a silky texture and balanced acidity that lingers. This vintage is a fantastic representation of Gamay from Juliénas, showcasing the purity of fruit and the terroir-driven nature of this classic Beaujolais village. Perfect for immediate enjoyment, it also has the finesse to develop with a bit of age! Choose your adventure.
