Crus Beaujolais Case, 2019

Domaine Sancy AOP Chenas
Thomas Broyer has only 56 ares in Chénas on a south facing plateau. His 2019 Chénas has floral aromas with violets and lavender. This is a medium-bodied wine with a supple mid palate. It’s also elegant, with lingering bitter cherry flavours.

Domaine Sancy AOP Julienas
This wine features warm aromas of dried fruit and pot pourri that precede more savoury flavours on the palate. Juliénas 2019 has some grainy tannins and quite a firm structure. Forty to 70-year-old Gamay vines are cultivated on schist and granite soils on a south facing slope.

Domaine Sancy AOP Saint-Amour
Here’s a wine that is dark purple in colour and offers a ripe black cherry aroma and gives Saint-Amour 2019 an immediate appeal. It is supple and structured with nice mid palate weight offering some chewy tannins and a long bitter cherry finish. This is the most northern and smallest of the 10 Beaujolais crus.
