Powerful and complex, Les Vignes Centenaires presents concentrated scents of ripe fruit mixed with woody notes. The wood ageing is discreet, and the tannins mellow. No wonder it was selected by the world's best sommelier du Monde 2019 Marc Almert!

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domain rated (guide 2020) Awarded wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Winegrowers in Juliénas since the early 17th century, the Perrachon family bought Ch. de la Bottière in 1877, then Dom. des Perelles in Romanèche-Thorins (windmill). When Laurent Perrachon set up in 1989, he acquired Dom. des Mouilles, then parcels in Morgon, Fleurie and Saint-Amour: a total of 31 ha, with vines in six crus. With Maxime and Adrien, the new generation joined the domaine in 2016.

Note and review by M. ETIENNE M. Published on 13/11/2022
Complex, less about the fruit than the appellation.

Note and review by M. ERIC D. Published on 25/09/2022
Served at a temperature of 16°C. We were won over by its well-controlled tannic structure and very persistent violet retro-olfaction. A fine Juliénas!
