"On the vineyard side, 65-year-old Gamays planted on a steep slope with bluestone soil (a combination of schist and diorite). On the cellar side, the wine is vinified in whole bunches and aged for 15 months in concrete vats. The estate's ambitious choices are rewarded here with a superb, remarkably harmonious Julienas. The aromatic palette is highly complex, combining peony, cherry, licorice and spices. On the palate, the tannins are elegant and silky, asserting themselves with distinction as the tasting progresses, accompanied by a lovely freshness with mineral tones". (Le Guide Hachette 2025)
