Domaine Chignard Julienas Beauvernay 2017

This cru Beaujolais comes from a granitehillside vineyard with sixty-year-oldvines. It has beautiful aromas, high-tonedfruit, and finesse along with floral andspice notes—a true Chignard classic.Enjoy now or ponder in five years.

Deep vivid magenta. Powerful, mineral-tinged black/blue fruit and floral pastille scents take on a spicy accent and a hint of musky earth with air. Gently sweet and broad on the palate, offering boysenberry, cherry and spicecake flavors and a touch of smokiness. Closes smooth, sappy and quite long, with repeating spiciness and harmonious tannins that add gentle grip.
