Domaine de la Prebende Rouge "Anna Asmaquer" 2020

Domaine de la Prébende produces a deeply mineral Beaujolais from a predominantly clay and limestone terroir, a rarity in a region dominated by granite soils. “Une prébende” essentially means “a tax,” and the domaine sits on the location where monks used to collect taxes from the villagers. As Ghislaine Dupeuble puts it, “Monks didn't like to own low end vineyards!”  The Prébende Beaujolais cuvée, “Anna Asmaquer,” is named for Ghislaine's great grandmother.  Light fruity aromas with hints of damp earth. Smooth, ripe cranberry and raspberry taste with tads of red current. A dry, very slightly tart fruity finish that goes on and on with lots of fruit and spice in the after-taste. 13% ABV
