Carra (Dom. Man.), Beaujolais Cru Brouilly – 2022

A refined expression of Chardonnay from the renowned Pierres Dorées terroir in southern Beaujolais, Domaine Man. Carra Beaujolais Blanc Pierres Dorées 2022 beautifully captures the elegance, freshness, and mineral character of this distinctive limestone-rich region. Crafted with meticulous care, this premium white wine offers remarkable purity, vibrant fruit, and a harmonious balance that reflects both tradition and exceptional craftsmanship.

Brilliant pale gold in color with delicate green reflections, it opens with inviting aromas of ripe pear, white peach, green apple, and citrus blossom, gracefully complemented by notes of white flowers, toasted almonds, fresh butter, and subtle mineral nuances. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, creamy texture, revealing vibrant flavors of orchard fruits, lemon zest, apricot, and crisp apple, supported by refreshing acidity and a refined mineral backbone. Gentle oak integration enhances complexity without overshadowing the wine’s bright fruit expression, creating an elegant and beautifully balanced tasting experience.

The finish is long, fresh, and gracefully persistent, leaving lingering notes of citrus, stone fruits, toasted nuts, and delicate minerality that reflect the unique limestone soils of the Pierres Dorées appellation.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, roasted chicken, creamy pasta, pan-seared salmon, soft cheeses, mushroom dishes, and classic French cuisine.

Serving Suggestion: Best served chilled at 10–12°C. Allow the wine to rest in the glass for a few minutes before serving to fully appreciate its expressive aromas, creamy texture, and elegant mineral complexity.
