Robust and vigorous yet seductive, this wine is velvety smooth and has the potential for ageing. The nose is floral with notes of violets, irises, blueberries and plum while also smokey with hints of graphite and game on the finish. This wine pairs perfectly with pork, pate and poultry.
In 2008 Magali Mathray joined her husband Gérard Gelin who owned the Domaine des Nugues with his father since 1976. The estate is located in the Nothern Beaujolais, around the crus of Moulin-à-Vent, Fleurie and Morgon. Magali and Gerard’s 15 hectares of vineyard have developed an extraordinary following, and justifiably so. The vineyards are bordered on either side by Morgon to the west and Fleurie to the east. The vines average forty years in age and the quality of the fruit grown on this hillside site is extraordinary. There are even some vines that have reached an age of over a century. The wines made here are never artificially adjusted and are richer and denser than many Cru Beaujolais. As keeping with the finest tradition, all fruit is hand-harvested and wholecluster vinified. Tasting of only the pure fruit flavors of unadulterated Beaujolais, they evolved beautifully with bottle aging.
