Domaine Jean-Claude Lapalu Beaujolais Villages Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 2023

This superb wine is bursting from the glass with inviting aromas of cherries, plums and warm spices. On the palate, its medium to full-bodied, satiny and sapid, with terrific depth and concentration, its lavish core of juicy fruit complemented by considerable savory nuance, proof, if any were needed, that Lapalu is one of the finest exponents of this underrated appellation.
