Description
- Maison Louis Latour selects the grapes for this wine from the steep hillsides of the area which boast an ideal southerly exposure. Juliénas is a wine that in the best years can rival the appellations of Moulin-à-Vent and Morgon for its power and finesse. Due to the hotter climate and the unique viticultural practices this Cru of Beaujolais has a very individual character which is enhanced by the traditional fermentation which it undergoes.

Press review
- Juliénas 2024 - Wine Spectator - 89/100Offers lovely Gamay charm, with fresh, crushed blackberry backed by saline-coated mineral notes. The tannins are powdery and guide the bouncy finish, filigreed with grilled herbs and alder smoke.
