NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
At Domaine des Chers, great attention is paid to the cultivation of old vines, which contribute to the depth and character of this Juliénas.The grapes are harvested by hand to ensure only the highest quality fruit is selected. Fermentation occurs in traditional open-top tanks, allowing for gentle extraction of color and tannins. The wine is then aged in a mix of stainless steel and older oak barrels, enhancing its complexity while maintaining the vibrant fruit profile. This careful winemaking approach results in a Juliénas that is both expressive and approachable, perfect for enjoying young yet capable of developing further nuances with a bit of cellaring.
