2022 | Sébastien Besson Beaujolais-Villages | Beaujolais Château Figeac 49% Merlot and 1% CabernetFull of bright and juicy brambly fruit on the nose, with hints of forest floor and stone, and fresh purple violets. The palate is vibrant and has enticing fruit for days; raspberry, tart cherry, and a soft umami character that dances beautifully with the lively acidity.
