Kewin Descombes Beaujolais Blanc 2022

Kewin Descombes Beaujolais Blanc 2022

• Region: Beaujolais
• Sub-Region: Morgon / Lantignié
• Varieties: Chardonnay

Vineyard While Beaujolais is famous for red Gamay, its white wines are rare gems grown on limestone and clay outcrops. Kewin Descombes manages his vines organically, focusing on vitality and soil health to produce fruit that emphasizes the pure, crystalline side of Chardonnay.

Wine A refreshing and nuanced French Chardonnay that stays away from heavy oak. It offers bright aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and a subtle flintiness. The palate is light-to-medium bodied with a zesty, mouth-watering finish and a clean, mineral edge that is surprisingly structural.
