Keke Descombes Beaujolais Cuvee Keke 2022 (due June)

Commercial Description

Kewin (Keke) Descombes has grown up amongst the vines of Beaujolais at the heals of his father, the great Georges Descombes. At the age of just 21, Keke completed his first solo vintage. His father gave him around 15 acres of vines in Morgon to get his own roll on, and over time, he’s added to that collection. This is textbook modern Beaujolais – enlivened with sweet blue fruits, flowers, earth and spice. This is a very popular cuvee from the younger guard of the region. It sells out each year in short order.

Winemaker’s Notes: This again has textbook Beaujolais aromas of blueberries, vine sap, earth, flowers and iodine. Whistle clean, bright and uplifting this is light to medium-bodied and wonderfully pure. The juicy ripe fruit is laced with slate and stems that push the flavours long in the mouth. Fluid and vibrant acidity keeps things fresh and adds a tang to the finish that keeps calling you back for another sip. This is deeper and darker than usual but still crackling juicy and fresh – again brilliant!
