Domaine du Clos du Fief is run by the father-son team of Michel and Sylvain Tête. This is a rare 4th generation Cru estate in Juliénas and Julie, based at the far Northwest sector of Beaujolais. Michel took over this history-rich land after studying in Beaune, where he learned many techniques that he now uses on his own wines to great acclaim. Michel and Sylvain harken their wines back to the classics: low yields, meticulously farmed vineyards, and classic winemaking resulting in serious and mouthwatering examples of terroir driven reds. The Julienas 'Cuvee Tradition' is a beautiful Gamay from 60+ year old vines planted on granite rich sites. Fermented and aged in concrete for a wine that is bursting with bright red berry fruits and a generous mineral core. Fantastic Beaujolais.
