Domaine des Perelles Beaujolais-Villages Rouge 2022

The Perrachon family has been involved in the wine trade since 1601. Today, the fifth (Martine and Laurent) and sixth (Maxime and Adrien) generation run the domaine, which started producing estate wines in 1877. The domaine consists of 26 hectares in six Beaujolais Crus: Juliénas (where they are based), Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie, Chenas, and Saint-Amour. In addition to the Crus, the family also makes Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages; red, white and rosé. All grapes are hand-harvested and the wines are made traditionally with great care to express the terroir from where they come.

Domaine des Perelles Beaujolais-Villages is made from 100% Gamay from 35+ year-old vines sourced from 3 vineyards on soils of granite and clay-limestone fermented in concrete tanks and aged in concrete for 6 months. Light ruby color with aromas of fresh strawberries and raspberries. The palate is light and fresh, easy drinking with soft tannins and a refreshing finish. Enjoy with salads or cured meats.
