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.

Wine Details

About the Producer

Domaine de Fa is a family project rooted in the legendary Northern Rhône. The Graillot family — celebrated since 1985 for their exquisite Syrah at Domaine des Lises and Alain Graillot — expanded to Beaujolais in 2011 when brothers Maxime and Antoine acquired parcels in Saint-Amour and Fleurie. The domaine takes its name from the family farm in Tournon-sur-Rhône where Madame Graillot grew up — a wine born from heritage, family, and a deep love of the land.

Food Pairing

This perfumed, spicy Gamay loves charcuterie, game, and earthy dishes. Try it with Iberico ham, sous vide pigeon in French style, roasted duck, or a mushroom tart. Serve slightly chilled for maximum freshness and lift.
