Review:

"Unfiltered and medium dark ruby in color, the Beaujolais Villages shows young concentrated dark red plum flavors with a hint of garden herbs, earth, and minerals. It is big and a bit chewy on the palate with lingering red raspberry on the finish."

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.

The Domaine Manoir du Carra Vineyard

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.
