"In the vineyards, 65-year-old Gamay vines are planted on a very steep hillside with blue stone soil (a combination of schist and diorite). In the cellar, whole bunches are vinified and aged for a long time (15 months) in concrete vats. The estate's ambitious choices are rewarded here with this superb Juliénas of remarkable harmony. The aromatic palette is highly complex, combining peony, cherry, licorice, and spices. On the palate, the tannins are elegant and silky, asserting themselves with distinction as the wine is tasted, accompanied by a beautiful freshness with mineral tones." (Le Guide Hachette 2025)
