Domain Cheveau Saint-Amour La Villa Violette 1685 Beaujolais French Red Wine 750 mL

Saint-Amour Villa Violette: This new cuvee is an assemblage of five parcels (average 60 years old) that Domaine Cheveau recently acquired from their uncle.   Like the “Champs Grilles”, the grapes are hand-harvested and sorted before being de-stemmed.  After a cold maceration of three to four days and a two-week cuviason, the wine spends 8 months in stainless steel before bottling.  The “Villa Violette” is comparable to the “Champs Grillés” with deep color and structure, explosive fresh fruit, and firm tannins; yet it does present a bit fresher and more youthful on the palate. Approximately 125 cases per annum are available for the US market
