The 2019 Chénas 'Les Grands Gandelins' from Domaine du Clos du Fief is a light-bodied, elegant Beaujolais Cru, offering a lively expression of red fruits, floral notes, and a hint of spice.
On the palate, it shows medium tannins and acidity, with a dry, well-balanced finish. Defined by its freshness and finesse, this wine is approachable and vibrant now, yet also has the structure to develop gracefully over the next few years.
A refined and charming Chénas, perfect for those seeking delicacy with character.

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."
