2006 Juliénas, Les Paquelets, Domaine Eve & Michel Rey

"After St Amour, Juliénas is the most northerly of the 10 village Beaujolais Crus, therefore the nearest to the vineyards of Southern Burgundy. This 2 hectare Estate, made up of South facing schist and granite soil, was founded in 1923 , and makes some of the best wines of the entire Cru. After whole bunch fermentation and 7 months elevage, the wine is posed, with silky red-berry fruit harmoniously balanced, soft tannins and a lick of spice on the finish. Very good." (Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer)
