Our plot :

Location :  Juliénas is located on the granitic foothills of the High Beaujolais. This altitude vineyard is on a strong slope (between 20% to 45%). The land where grow our dear Gamay cépage are poor and optimal for the creation of high quality wines. The tannic power due to the undersoil has to be mastered to develop palatable wines.

Grape Variety :  Black Gamay

Soil and Subsoil :  Blue stones altered at shallow depth

Exposure : Southwest

Average age of vines: 50 years

Harvest and winemaking

The grapes were manually harvested in 15 kilos open boxes.

The grape harvest, at maturity and healthy, made it possible to realise the wine making process in optimal conditions.The wines were breeding for 12 months to be bottled in September, 2023.
