Cuvée Les Brebis (2022)

This organic wine comes from a plot where our sheep provide winter pasture. Their presence is beneficial: it contributes to natural fertilization and limits soil maintenance operations.

W I N E

Color : Brilliant color with a deep red color (velvet) and purple reflections

Noise : Intense black fruit notes (blackberry, blueberry) with blackcurrant and licorice nuances. A rather open and flattering nose, quite typical however of the characteristics of the Juliénas appellation.

Palate: The attack is frank and the mouth presents a good freshness: a very appreciable characteristic for this solar vintage. The length in mouth is interesting and we find a sumptuous mixture of spices with hints of black fruits.
