2021 Domaine de Fa Beaujolais en Besset
Tasting Notes
Vivid and pure Beaujolais from high-elevation granite. The 2021 “En Besset” opens with ripe red and dark berries layered with subtle mineral, smoked meat, and floral tones. Supple and juicy on the palate with fine, even tannins and a long, spicy finish—textbook, high-altitude Gamay with lift and finesse.

About the Producer
Domaine de Fa is the Beaujolais project of Rhône icons Alain Graillot and his sons, Maxime and Antoine. The “En Besset” parcel sits on granitic hillsides among the highest elevations of the appellation, yielding concentrated, intensely perfumed Gamay with energy and clarity.
Food Pairing
Excellent with Iberico ham, French-style sous-vide pigeon, roast chicken, and charcuterie boards. Chill lightly for extra lift with cured meats.
