Domaine de la Prébende Beaujolais Rouge, 2023 Lirac with a balance of acidityDomaine de la Prebende Beaujolais Rouge Beautiful, minerally old vine Beaujolais (not Nouveau) from Domaine de la Prbende. Une prbende essentially means "a tax" as the Domaine sits where the monks used to collect taxes from the villagers. The wine is made in a supremely clean style, with native yeasts, from vines planted in 1930, 1940 & 1980, expressive of the terroir. Gamay.
