Tasting Notes
From vines planted just outside of the Brouilly cru in Beaujolais. A beautifully elegant, silky, finely chalky village red from Descombes. Loved the mild charcuterie florals and the weightless mouthfeel. So glugable! 12% alc. Drank with roast chicken and veggies. Mmm! 12.5% alc. - Michael L
Kewin Descombes is the son of legendary producer George Descombes whose wines we will hopefully receive soon. Kewin's first vintage was in 2013 at the young age of 21 using parcels of fruit that his father has been gradually transferring over to him.
He adopts a very similar approach to his father in the vineyard and winery so we are talking about a focus on organic viticulture nurturing the old vines. Wild yeast ferments, minimal to no sulphur additions, semi carbonic maceration and elevage is all done in oak.
His wines are structured and elegant with uplifting acidity and sit alongside some of the very best producers from the region. To be making wines of this calibre at such a young age is certainly something to be excited about.
