Clos du Fief (Michel Tete), Beaujolais-Villages 'La Roche', 2024
Classic Beaujolais from a Juliénas legend, fresh out of the gate. Domaine du Clos du Fief is the fourth-generation Tête family estate in Juliénas — Michel Tête, joined by son Sylvain, is widely considered one of the cru's most reliable hands. La Roche is their Beaujolais-Villages cuvée, 100% Gamay from 50-plus-year-old vines on Les Côtes de la Roche, just west of the Juliénas commune in the hamlet of Jullié, planted on the distinctive blue volcanic stone (diorite) that gives this corner of the Beaujolais its serious mineral spine. Traditional semi-carbonic vinification, no makeup, all juicy fruit and granite snap. The 2024 is a bright, gulpable expression — exactly the kind of unpretentious, food-friendly Beaujolais we never stop drinking.
