"The 60-year-old vines produced only 25 hl/ha in 2019 to produce this fine Juliénas with rich aromas of black fruits, cocoa; fleshy, coated palate, with substance." (Bourgogne Aujourd'hui n°158 - April-May 2021). A choice vintage in Burgundian style not to be missed. A revelation for this young winemaker whose 1st vintage 2017 was already 2** Favorite Guide Hachette!

About the wine:
Favorite With this same 2017 cuvée, Benjamin Passot offers a beautifully crafted 2019, born of old vines over 80 years old. After 10 months in barrel, this Julienas presents woody notes (cocoa) that blend harmoniously with black fruits, relayed by a fleshy mouth, with pleasant depth, structured by fine tannins.
About the domain :
As a young winemaker, Benjamin Passot's first experience of winegrowing was at Vosne-Romanée. At the same time, he developed his own domaine and settled on a few acres of Juliénas in 2017. He has since taken over vineyards in Chénas and Chiroubles.

Note and review by M. FREDERIC B. Published on 21/11/2022
Lots of substance in this wine. The wood is still present and needs to be integrated. To be cellared for the time being.
