"The 2013 Juliénas (Château de la Bottière) comes from a 3.75-hectare parcel. It has a more discreet nose than the Domaine des Mouilles cuvée, with earthy accents and small black fruits, enhanced by an iodized flavor. The palate is medium-bodied, with mellow tannins, good volume, fine structure and a blackcurrant finish. Drink now through 2018. (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (2015 guide) 2*Coup de Coeur (Outstanding wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
This seductive cherry-colored wine reveals a delicate nose of red fruits, violets and sweet spices. The mouth, in unison, charms with its fine, smooth tannins and long, graceful finish. A harmonious, highly elegant Julienas.
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.

juliénas colorful and explosive on the palate. Goes well with many dishes, which is practical for everyday drinking. Great value for money.
