Château De Juliénas

Arnaud Briday

Domaine des Chers Vieilles Vignes Julienas Gamay 2020

Solid Cru Beaujolais. Medium garnet color. Bright aromas of ripe red and black cherries, earth and violets. Expressive flavors of red and black cherry/raspberry/currant fruit, tobacco and a pleasant hint of baking spices. A bit of black pepper and the presence of stemmy carbonic maceration on the very long and tingly finish. Quite juicy and crisp. Fruit forward, nicely structured and pretty well balanced. — 8 days ago

This was really lovely. Soft, but the fruit is still fresh and vibrant. A very special wine—happy it showed well. — 9 months ago

@Peter Sultan this aged fabulously; fresh but undercurrents of generous complexity

La Bottière Juliénas Gamay 2022

Another very nice ‘22 Bojo. I am in the process of revising upward my view of the ‘22 vintage there. Nose is very exuberant, with pure and zingy black cherry fruit, verging into purple berry territory, and nose-tingly granitic rock dust. There is also a dusting of baking spice. In the mouth it has nice concentration, ripe but zingy fruit, integrated minerality. Acids are surprisingly crisp. I expect this to integrate and be better in a year or two. But really nice now as well. — 9 months ago

I have always loved (well-made) Gamay. Great fruit, transmits terroir well, and, most importantly for me, tends to match well with lots of the meals we cook. For the same reason I drink lots of Chianti Classico. Together, these are my chief “go-to” wines for meals.

Juliénas Gamay 2017

Lovely clean and refreshing Gamay fruit, still quite youthful, balanced, medium-long finish, very good!!
As an aside, we also tried a 2010 Cote de Brouilly from Domaine de Chavannes that was surprisingly fresh and lively at age 15, say an 8.7!!
