BEAUJOLAIS, FRANCE
Deep purple in color, this wine has an aromatic nose of black plum and cassis with hints of black cherry and alpine strawberry. There are mineral notes of shaved granite and crushed shells on the midpalate. This Juliénas would pair well with white meats and vegetable dishes. — Reggie Solomon, Wine Enthusiast 89 Points
 
Pascal Aufranc was a newcomer in Beaujolais when he purchased an old vineyard just outside the village of Chenas, a vineyard surrounded by forest. Without neighbors, and without a strong family tradition to lean on, Pascal had the freedom to establish his own organic and natural viticultural habits, and shortly became one of the top winemakers in the Cru. He has since
expanded to Fleurie and Julienas.

Why It Works
The wine is a light, perfumed Gamay from the
Juliénas cru in Beaujolais.
The 2022 vintage offers a juicy finish with lively
acidity and gentle tannins that cut through rich
poultry fats without overpowering delicate flavors
