2022 'Julienas La Bottière'
Bret Brothers

Terroir: 260-meters elevation, granite soils
Viticulture: Certified organic
Vinification: Whole-cluster pressing, indigenous yeast fermentation. Aged for 10 months in Burgundian barrel.

Juliénas is one of the northernmost Crus of the Beaujolais. Bottière is a beautiful terroir! This is a throwback to classic Beaujolais from another era. Fermented with 100% whole clusters, carbonic fermentation, and a slow press. The sugars finished in Burgundian barrel. An illuminated, bright wine, with delicate aromas that invite one to taste its nectar. 2018, a huge favorite!-winery

90 Kelley (Parker WA) for the 2019, not the 2022
The 2019 Julienas La Bottière is also showing nicely, offering up aromas of cherries, plums and raspberries. Fleshier and richer than the brothers' Fleurie Les Ponciés, with deeper-pitched fruit tones, it's layered and gourmand, with succulent acids and an enveloping core of fruit. The choice between the two is more a question of taste than quality.
