Hachette

"A cuvée from century-old vines, distinguished for its elegance. The nose is reminiscent of fresh, candied cherries; the palate is fleshy, full-bodied and rich, ending with spicy tannins. The wood ageing (twelve months in barrel, then three months in cask) is barely noticeable, and the tannins remain supple. A complete wine, to be enjoyed from 2013". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins)

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rated (2013 guide) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the wine:

Bottière-Pavillon (Depardon family) is not to be confused with Bottière des Perrachon, here a cuvée from century-old vines, distinguished for its elegance. The nose evokes fresh, candied cherries; the palate is fleshy, full-bodied and rich, ending with spicy tannins. The wood ageing (twelve months in barrel, then three months in cask) is barely noticeable, and the tannins remain supple. A complete wine, to be enjoyed from 2013.

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.

Tasted this Juliénas yesterday,at first taste,with pike quenelles in Nantua sauce.if it wasn't the perfect match,it was already very promising.excellent now,I think this wine will be at its best in one or two years.very good Juliénas and perfect value for money!
