Though she grew up a Parisian, Marie-Élodie Zighera’s family estate in Beaujolais has been passed down along the maternal line for generations. After cutting her teeth at Chateau de la Tour, she took over the family vineyards in 2006 and decided to estate bottle under the Clos de Mez name (MEZ = Marie-Élodie Zighera). Traditionally farmed (and certified organic since 2018), Marie’s wines are classic Beaujolais. Marie only makes three wines; a Morgon bottling and two from Fleurie. Whereas the Morgon and the other Fleurie bottling are traditionally fermented and see a light amount of barrel aging, this cuveé sees semi-carbonic fermentation in concrete vats for maximum freshness. Beaujolais is the classic Autumn wine that pairs well with just about anything, you can even give this one a light chill if you so desire while you feast upon hors d'oeuvres, cold cuts, whatever!
