95 POINTS: James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com

"A cornucopia of forest berries with delicate licorice and herb-liqueur nuances, animated by staggering freshness that makes this really stand out in the Moulin-a-Vent context. Concentrated and beautifully balanced, in spite of the serious tannin structure, this has a dangerous amount of energy at the firm, mineral finish. Great aging potential, but delicious now. Drink or hold."

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Domaine Anita is one of the newer superstars of Beaujolais.

Originally from Mâcon, Anita Kuhnel’s first passion in life was professional cycling, that is until her former husband introduced her to her destiny – winemaking. In 2015, she took over 18 hectares of vines planted in 1973 and created Domaine Anita. Domaine Anita includes some of the most prestigious crus of Beaujolais including Moulin à Vent, Morgon, Chénas, Fleurie, as well as some plots located on great terroirs of the Beaujolais-Villages appellation.

Anita’s viticultural practices are specific to each plot, but always within her overarching philosophy of sustainable viticulture, with minimal treatments, green harvesting and strong canopy management. She now makes exceptional Beaujolais, priding herself on producing wines that respect terroir and quality of fruit equally.
