Manoir du Carra Julienas 2023

Julienas is the oldest Cru Beaujolais.  This wine comes from a small lieu-dit, on slopes at an altitude of 180 metres. The soil is a mix of schist and granite.  The colour is slightly deeper purple, the nose is more complex with notes of cinnamon, violets and peonies, while on the palate it is fuller and very ripe with flavours of damsons and red fruits. It is more structured with gentle tannins at the finish. Although lovely now, this will keep for two to three years.
