Juliénas

Perfumed plum, juicy raspberry, cassis, red fruit and spice accompany mineral texture and fine tannins. Gamay comes from two sites with blue granite and sandy soils, where the vines average around eighty years. Whole clusters ferment in concrete before eight to ten months in older barrels. Native yeast is used. A scrubby herbal note appears on the finish, and alcohol is twelve and a half percent.

Red cherry and spice sit within a supple, fresh and bright profile. The wine is juicy and light in style, with crunchy red fruit and integrated tannins. Gamay comes from the four-hectare Côte de Bessay plot at the edge of Juliénas, where blue stones and granite are present. A low-extraction, carbonic approach is used in the cellar.
