Juliénas "Roche Granit"

Juliénas is an appellation located in the far northwest of the Beaujolais.
Juliénas wines are so called in honour of Julius Caesar who occupied the region in 100 BC. His troops may have already been growing vines back then…
The vines grow at altitudes of between 230 to 430 meters on a east-facing slope that gets steeper and steeper. The soil is composed of granite and ancient alluvium making it well drained.

Tasting

Very fresh nose featuring notes of wild fruit (blackberry, blueberry, wild strawberry), flowers (rose, violet) and spices. The fleshy, full-bodied palate is supported by solid tannic structure and lovely minerality. The finish is long and very fragrant.

Food/wine pairing

Taste this wine with charcuterie board, grilled or roasted meats and poultry, or with medium cheeses.

Serving and keeping

Serve at 14-15°C (57-59°F).
To taste young on the fruit or to keep 3 to 5 years and more.
