Pascal Aufranc Probus Juliénas 2013

Juliénas, Beaujolais Villages, Beaujolais, Burgundy, FrancePeppery, tight and unyielding, this gamay is sourced from the Les Crots climat, one with noticeably more clay which sets it apart from typical Julienas, and gives it a weight felt within its 12.5 degree frame. From 70+ year old vines, whole cluster pressed, and aged in foudre for ten months, this carries perfumed raspberry, pure plum, a rinse of astringent acidity and fine, peppery spice on a high acid palate. This structural, lighter wine benefits from being opened in advance, giving it some room to breathe and grow in the glass. #GoGamayGo.Tasted: 10 February 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
