Pascal Aufranc - Chénas En Rémont (ex cuvée Vignes de 1939) 2020

4/5 (10 reviews)

"A preserved and confidential terroir

"It would be easy to mistake this for a Northern Rhône wine, due to its salty character and raw meat. But with a little aeration, notes of ripe plum and violet also emerge. Concentrated, with a multitude of fine tannins wrapped in velvet on the powerful, concentrated palate. The finish is very mineral and tannic. Drink now, but best from 2024." (James Suckling 2022). A racy cuvée you'll love!

Pascal Aufranc - Juliénas Probus rouge 2020

4.5/5 (4 reviews)

"Intense notes of bay, clove and savory, along with deep black cherry and elderberry, make this a unique Julienas. Concentrated, yet very fresh, it has lively acidity and chocolatey tannins that build steadily to a long, compact finish. A cuvée from the Les Chers, Les Crots and Les Capitains terroirs. A wine for laying down. To drink or to keep. (James Suckling 2022).

Pascal Aufranc - Juliénas Probus 2015

4.1/5 (13 reviews)

"Vinified from whole bunches of grapes, then aged partly in barrel (30%) for twelve months, this cuvée is a tribute to the Roman emperor Probus, who is said to have introduced Gamay to the Beaujolais region. Its balance between fruit and wood, between power and finesse, makes it an outstanding Julienas, with silky tannins and great length". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)
