Domaine du Penlois
Lancié, Beaujolais
In 2022, the Besson family celebrated 100 years of winemaking, marking four generations of expertise passed down from father to son. Their deep-rooted knowledge and commitment to nature—carefully preserved over the decades—go beyond any certified agricultural practice.
Domaine du Penlois cultivates 30 hectares of vines across the diverse terroirs of Lancié, Villié-Morgon, Romanèche-Thorins, Chénas, La Chapelle-de-Guinchay, and Juliénas. The vineyards are planted on hillsides in narrow rows with a high vine density per hectare, promoting optimal quality and expression of each site.
Juliénas 'La Croisée'
2021 | $42.00 per bottle | case of 6
The 2021 vintage, crafted from 100% Gamay, beautifully reflects its granite-rich terroir with vibrant freshness and refined structure. It presents a bright red hue, layered aromas of red fruit and delicate florals, and a well-balanced palate leading to a smooth, elegant finish.
Moulin à Vent ‘Sous l’aile du Moulin’
2020 | $48.00 per bottle | case of 6
This 2020 vintage offers a vibrant nose of dark berries, spice, and floral hints, with added depth after decanting. On the palate, it’s juicy and bright, with tart cherry, blackcurrant, plum, and subtle notes of violet, spice, and tobacco. Soft tannins and a long, flavourful finish complete this well-balanced wine.
