The wine region of Juliénas
Northernmost Beaujolais cru, one of the most structured of the ten. Gamay signature as sole grape: perfumed, sturdy reds with signature notes of black cherry, raspberry, flowers (peony, violet), sweet spices and a granitic mineral touch, firm tannins and silky mouth — denser than Fleurie or Brouilly, immediate pleasure to 5-10 year ageing on top cuvées. Granitic, schist and clay soils across 4 communes (~537 ha).
The wine region of Beaujolais
Kingdom of Gamay (98% of the vineyard): fruity, accessible reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, banana (carbonic maceration), violet and sweet spices, supple tannins and juicy acidity. From festive Beaujolais Nouveau (3rd Thursday of November) to the 10 more structured, age-worthy Crus: deep earthy Morgon, sturdy Moulin-à-Vent, floral Fleurie, crunchy Brouilly. Some lively Chardonnay. 12,000 ha south of Burgundy, granitic soils.
The word of the wine: Varietal
Said of wine aromas that are reminiscent of fresh grapes. The most demonstrative example is certainly that of wines made from the Muscat grape variety.
