About the wine:
Favorite his 2017 vintage of this same cuvée, Benjamin Passot presents a beautifully crafted 2019, made from old vines over 80 years old. After 10 months in oak barrels, this Juliénas displays woody notes (cocoa) that blend harmoniously with black fruit, followed by a full-bodied palate with pleasant depth, structured by fine tannins.
About the estate:
As a young winemaker, Benjamin Passot gained his first experience in winemaking in Vosne-Romanée. At the same time, he developed his own estate and began cultivating a few arpents of Juliénas in 2017. He has since acquired vineyards in Chénas and Chiroubles.

Review by Mr. FREDERIC B. Published on November 21, 2022
This wine has a lot of body. The oak is still noticeable and needs time to integrate. Best kept in the cellar for now.
