The New York Times called Michel Tête's wines "the class of Juliénas"—and this fourth-generation estate proves why. From the most diverse soils in all of Beaujolais, including the prized "blue stone" terroir, comes Gamay of striking depth. Semi-carbonic maceration, indigenous yeasts, 60-year-old vines, Slavonian oak. Deep ruby with strawberry, raspberry, rose petals, and wet stone minerality. Supple and elegant with cellaring potential of 5-7 years.Six generations on Mont Brouilly's volcanic slopes. Old-vine Gamay, whole-cluster, unfiltered. Ages like fine Burgundy.

More about Clos du Fief (Michel Tete)

Michel Tête is widely considered to be the best producer of wines from the Beaujolais Cru known as Juliénas. As tempting as it may be stick with your known favorites -- Foillard, Lapierre, Coudert -- Tête offers a slightly different twist on Cru Beaujolais.

Like those other masters, Tete has very old vines -- for this wine they are about 50 years old. He also makes the wines traditionally and with very little intervention in the winery. The differences come from the soils, as Tete is the only one in this group to boast blue volcanic soils under his vines.

These things make a difference. Those soils seem to intensify the wine's aromatics and structure.
