At the start of the 1980s, the Domaine was bought by the Julien family, which has several generations of winegrowers. For nearly 27 years now, Bernard Julien has taken over and renewed this vineyard and vinifies his vintages himself.
90 Pts James Suckling
A dark ruby-red, deep, brilliant colour.
On the nose, pleasant notes of candied fruit and toasted bread
On the palate, good structure, power and concentration of the tannins,
round and well-balanced, with sweet no tes of toasted red pepper, a touch
of flower and a finish of cocoa. Beautiful expression of this variety. Fresh,
elegant, well-done wine.
Always keep your bottles laying down into a dark and fresh place. Open
your bottles 2 to 3 hours before serving.
Best served between 17° an 18° : this wine is the perfect match with beef
and game, regional cooking such as “gardiane”, cured cheese.
Cellaring : Ready to drink today and on the next 5 years.
