- A bright, juicy wine full of exuberant blackcurrant aromas. On the palate, the vibrant fruit is supported by a supple texture and a refreshing finish. A fleshy and mellow Bordeaux full of chunky plummy fruit with a hint of dark chocolate and a peppery finish. The yields are carefully controlled to concentrate the flavours in the berries.
The grapes were meticulously sorted and carefully destemmed, ensuring they were not damaged and the berries remained whole. They were slowly fermented in concrete tanks so all components from the skins were extracted to the desired level. Fermentation lasted for two to three weeks. The blend was aged in concrete tanks for eight months, retaining the purity of the fruit and the essence of the Bordeaux terroir.
This elegant wine is full of exuberant blackcurrant aromas. On the palate, the fruit is supported by a supple texture, beautiful balance, and a refreshing finish.

| Winery | The immaculate Chateau Julien covers 21 hectares of vines, including four hectares of Bordeaux rouge, close to Lussac St Emilion. The chateau has received significant investment and renovation in the vineyard and cellars from the current owner, who purchased the property from the family that had previously owned the chateau for three generations. They cultivate the vines sustainably and work closely alongside innovative winemaker Ludovic Labarrere, who vinifies using egg-shaped fermenters and produces elegantly styled Bordeaux wines. The vines are sustainably cultivated, with grass sown between the vine rows to stabilise and decompress the soil, sending the vine roots deep into the soils. The vineyard is situated on silty and sandy soils, which impart soft tannins, roundness, and delicacy to the wine. The yields are carefully controlled to concentrate the flavours in the berries. |
