Tasting notes
The 2024 Saint-Amour "Les Capitans" from Domaine du Clos du Fief is a vibrant and expressive Beaujolais showcasing the elegance of pure Gamay. Aromas of fresh strawberry and raspberry unfold alongside delicate violet notes and subtle floral lift.
On the palate, the wine is precise and energetic, driven by bright acidity and a fine mineral backbone. The texture remains delicate yet structured, with silky tannins providing definition and length.
Fruit-forward but finely balanced, this cuvée delivers both immediate charm and the capacity to evolve over the coming years, offering a refined and terroir-driven expression of Saint-Amour.
More About The Winery
Located in the heart of Beaujolais, Domaine du Clos du Fief is a 17-hectare family estate now led by Sylvain Tête, who returned after formative experiences at Château Thivin and Domaine Saumaize. Bringing fresh energy and vision, he works with permanent cover crops, under-vine cultivation, and small chenillard engines to farm even the steepest slopes with care and precision.
In the cellar, Sylvain remains true to Beaujolais tradition, employing semi-carbonic macerations and submerged caps, techniques that highlight the finesse and fruit purity of Gamay while ensuring structure and balance.
The wines of Clos du Fief are gaining attention for their authenticity, terroir expression, and ageing potential. As noted by William Kelley (The Wine Advocate):
"These new releases show considerable promise, highlighting the progress that has been made in the last few years, and it's clear that this is a domaine to watch."
