Domaine Anita is a relative newcomer to the vineyards of Beaujolais.  Anita Kuhnel started her own estate in 2015 after 15 years in the family business.  She is passionate about winemaking and has been involved since the beginning in the production of cellar wines.

The Domaine, located in Chenas, operates within 6 appellations (Moulin à Vent, Morgon, Chénas, Fleurie, Beaujolais, Beaujolais-Villages), each located on exceptional terroirs.  Sustainable agriculture is implemented on each plot.

On the granite soils, where the Gamay varietal flourishes, Domaine Anita chooses to maintain a high plantation density in order to optimize the quality of the grapes, resulting in smaller fruit with thick skin and rich pulp.

From picking to bottling, the identity of each parcel is respected, offering diversity to each wine.  The famous Moulin à Vent “Reine de Nuit”-a small plot, a true jewel-was the first to benefit from this particular attention and reveal the extraordinary potential of its terroir.  In 2013, the Domaine began to use destemmed grapes for vinification; the resulting wine was named Moulin à Vent “Coeur de Vigneronne”, or “Heart of the Winegrower”.

Domaine Anita is surrounded by a tight team of viticultural employees who carry out all manual work.  Corentin, Anita’s son, has been assisting with the business thanks to an immersion in the trade since childhood.
