Didier Desvignes Domaine du Calvaire de Roche-Grès Moulin-à-Vent Terre De Manganèse, in its heavy bottle, suggests from the outset an altogether more serious wine than Didier Desvignes' regular cuvées.

The colour is atypically deep for a Beaujolais and the nose initially offers balsamic and feral aromas before opening up with ripe cherry fruit and touches of oak spice. The palate, as you might expect, shows greater extraction and concentration than many a Beaujolais, displaying opulent dark cherry fruit, delicate spice and nicely integrated oak.

Although very drinkable already, this age-worthy Beaujolais has the capacity to evolve into something really quite Burgundian over the next five to ten years.

OUR GROWERS

Didier Desvignes

This Beaujolais estate is the property of the aptly named Desvignes ("of the vines") family. Given the historic local tradition of assigning surnames according to the head of a family’s profession, it is safe to assume that the Desvignes have been practising their craft for quite some time. In fact, as a result of his genealogical research and his examination of local trade records, Didier Desvignes discovered that he represents the eleventh generation of winemakers in his family.
