Domaine de Mont Joly Beaujolais Village Les Cerisiers 2024 is a high‑altitude Beaujolais‑Villages Blanc from Blacé, crafted by Jean‑Baptiste Bachevillier, showing off pure, cool‑fruited Chardonnay with a real focus on freshness, minerality and clarity of site. From a tiny, agroforestry‑driven estate working as naturally as possible, this Les Cerisiers cuvée is all about finesse over flash.

In the glass, expect a very fresh, vibrant white with citrus blossom, gently exotic stone‑fruit and lifted notes of fresh pear, all wrapped around a clean mineral core. The palate is sleek and finely structured, offering elegant weight, lively acidity and a lingering saline, chalk‑etched finish that keeps each sip mouth‑watering and moreish rather than heavy. Fermentation and ageing in stainless steel preserve that razor‑sharp definition, letting the fruit and terroir speak clearly.

Food‑wise, Domaine de Mont Joly Beaujolais Village Les Cerisiers 2024 is a natural match for simply prepared white fish, grilled or baked, where its citrusy lift and mineral line really shine. It will also pair beautifully with shellfish, light seafood pastas, goat’s cheese salads or delicate vegetable dishes, making it a spot‑on choice for lighter, summery menus and refined starters.
