Domaine du Clos du Fief (Michel Tete)

Beaujolais cru Gamay from granite terroirs, assessed by major critics.

Domaine du Clos du Fief produces Gamay-based wines from Beaujolais, the French region celebrated for its bright, mineral expressions of this varietal. The domaine's portfolio centers on cru Beaujolais—the region's most structured and age-worthy offerings. Moulin-à-Vent 'Les Deschanes' and l'Exception Saint-Amour represent the upper range of the lineup, both Gamay wines that have drawn assessment from Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. The Tradition Juliénas rounds out the core range, also built on Gamay. These wines reflect Beaujolais's terroir-driven character: Gamay's natural acidity and red-fruit profile, shaped by granite and schist soils that give the wines their distinctive mineral spine. The domaine's focus on cru classification—Moulin-à-Vent, Saint-Amour, and Juliénas are among Beaujolais's ten designated crus—positions it within the region's serious winemaking tradition.
