Product Description

Overview

Winery: Manoir du Carra

Manoir du Carra Beaujolais Villages 2014 is made from 100% Gamay.

Ruby red color, black berry and cherry aromas. Ample in the mouth, very elegant and long lingering finish.

This particular wine and vintage (2013) received 88 points from The Wine Advocate:
"The 2013 Beaujolais Villages "Cuvee Non-Filtre" comes from vines aged between 70 and 100 years and after semi-carbonic maceration is aged in wooden foudres. It has a caressing nose of pure strawberries and cream that is very defined and seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins, lively red cherry fruit and pleasing weight on the tense finish. Drink now-2017."

The Domaine Manoir du Carra Estate

Domaine Manoir du Carra is located in the small town of Denice, 5 km from Villefranche-sur-Saone, 45 km south of Mâcon and 40 km north of Lyon. The property dates back to 1850, and has been bequeathed from father to son for five generations. It is now owned by Jean-Noel Sambardier and his wife. Like many Beaujolais producers, part of their wine is sold to negociant, to which they sell at least 25% of their production each year.

30 hectares (74.10 acres) total, divided along the North-South axis between Beaujolais A.O.C (10 ha= 24.70 acres) and Beaujolais-Villages A.O.C. (20 ha=49.40 acres). The Sambardiers own 50 vineyard plots. The vines are 50-100 years old. Yields are 55 hl/ha.
