La Famille K Beaujolais Le Père 2018

Estate History

La Famille K is a new-generation family estate in Beaujolais, focused on crafting authentic and expressive wines with respect for the environment. With precise vineyard work and low-intervention winemaking, the estate showcases the full potential of Beaujolais terroirs, including its whites made from Chardonnay.

Terroir

The Chardonnay vines are planted on clay-limestone soils, typical of the Beaujolais Blanc appellation. This terroir brings both richness and freshness to the wine, enhancing its aromatic expression and balance.

Tasting Notes

Bright pale gold color. The nose is elegant and fresh, with aromas of white flowers, pear, citrus zest, and subtle hints of hazelnut. On the palate, the wine is round and well-balanced, offering smooth texture, vibrant acidity, and a clean, mineral-driven finish.

A refined and expressive Beaujolais Chardonnay, combining fruit purity, freshness, and finesse — the “father” cuvée in its white expression.

Pairing

Ideal with seafood, grilled fish, creamy poultry dishes, or soft cheeses like Brie and Saint-Marcellin.
