Juliénas Gamay

Nice fruit to balance out brett

I pulled this out of the cellar a couple of weeks ago and never got around to drinking it. Lazy thing that I am, rather than look up which shelf it belonged on, I just left it in the box on the floor in the basement, but tonight I needed a wine to go with dinner and there it was calling out.... “Driiiiink Meeeeeee.” So now I’m swimming in a blissful little pond of strawberry and cranberry tinged with dried herbs and the light woody bitterness of juniper. There’s a lovely savory note that lingers in the finish with gauzy wispy tannins that you don’t notice unless you’re really paying attention. Great acidity, and just a lovely presence. Yum!

This wine sings.

Balanced, some CO2 but cleaner than the fleurie from earlier. So delicious.

Great acid and balance

This is quite tasty. Starting to show some earth and dry dirt, but still good red fruit coming through.

1️⃣7️⃣ is 💣

This stuff is the shit, enough said!

Muted bouquet, slight smoked meat aroma. Stemmy tannins, and mouth watering finish.

Black pepper, stems, herbal, crunchy and delicious. Fantastic wine! Loved this. WOTT!
