"This Juliénas is worth exploring as it offers surprising depth and balance for an alcohol content of only 11.5%. Delicate aromas of garden herbs and red berries. Aged in wooden barrels." (James Suckling 2023)

About wine:
Talent does not wait for the passing of years. Benjamin Passot only created his estate in 2017. Originally from Burgundy, he was influenced by his past experiences in this vineyard. The grapes from his 80-year-old vines, which are in the process of converting to organic farming, are completely destemmed, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and then aged for ten months in barrels. The Burgundian DNA is recognizable in this cuvée with its airy elegance. Notes of cooked cherries are a prelude to a juicy texture, with admirable finesse carried by a subtle acidity. A digestible and dynamic wine, perfectly delightful. (September 2023, No. 88)

About wine:
11.5% alcohol. Blue granite soils. Semi-carbonic maceration, wild yeasts. Supple, fresh, lively, and stony with a mineral touch and concentrated notes of cherry and raspberry. It is lively and vibrant with a lean mouthfeel and a fresh, delicately spicy finish. Taut style.
