Famille Descome 2022 "Granite" Beaujolais-Villages

Famille Descombe’s 2022 “Granite” Beaujolais‑Villages is a vibrant Gamay sourced from sandy decomposed granite soils that lend both freshness and depth to the wine, showing a ruby color with aromas of red and black fruits such as raspberry, strawberry, and wild blackberry, along with subtle earthy tones. On the palate it is velvety and juicy, offering bright red‑fruit purity, balanced acidity, and a lingering spicy, peppery finish, with some critics noting hints of orange zest and gentle earthiness. Its lively structure and supple tannins make it an excellent partner for pork tenderloin, lamb or vegetable kebabs, grilled sirloin, and other simply prepared meats, as well as charcuterie or roasted poultry thanks to its freshness and versatility.
