Domaine de Thulon AOC Beaujolais-Villages Carine, Laurent Jambon, 2018

Two generations of the Jambon family farm 16.5 hectare of vines with wines produced in the cellars of the impressive ancient 15th century Château de Thulon. Laurent makes the wines, and Carine looks after sales, taking over from their parents Annie and René. Eight hectares of Beaujolais Villages vineyards are planted with vines more than 45 years old at high density with 8000 vines/hectare. Domaine de Thulon 2018 is bright in colour with a mellow red fruit aroma. It is medium bodied, round and smooth with floral notes and a supple finish. Grapes were harvested by hand and a traditional Beaujolais carbonic maceration was carried out.
