Henry Fessy Beaujolais
Winemaker Notes:
The Beaujolais appellation provides about half of all the wine produced in the Beaujolais region. The Henry Fessy Beaujolais comes mainly from domain vines planted on the plateau of Bel-Air which borders the Brouilly appellation next to the winery.
The harvest is done manually, allowing the grapes to be sorted first at the vine therefore limiting damage to the fruit. If necessary, a second sorting will be carried out once the grapes have arrived at the winery. This will be accompanied by a partial de-stemming and then fermentation on the skins for approximately a week.
Tasting Note:
An expressive nose of dark cherry, flowers, and spice is particularly enticing. While still being a light red wine, on the palate there is more power and fruit richness than one might expect from a Beaujolais-Villages. There is a nice line of acidity and lovely latent earthiness that emerges as the wine breathes, opens up, and delivers a savoury, sour cherry finish.
