Domaine des Fontaines sits in Chénas, a granite-rich cru within Beaujolais where Gamay thrives on steep, mineral-laden slopes. The winery's two flagship expressions—Clos des Michelons and Moulin-à-Vent—showcase the variety's capacity for depth and structure in this terroir. Both wines have drawn attention from Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Decanter. Gamay from Chénas typically expresses dark fruit, spice, and a taut acidity that rewards careful cellaring, moving beyond the lighter, fruit-forward profile associated with Beaujolais Nouveau. These bottlings reflect the precision demanded by the region's volcanic bedrock and the winery's focus on serious, age-worthy expressions of the appellation.
