Just like a good Pinot Noir from up the road in Burgundy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThibaud’s not sure how old the vines are, but he recently bumped into the guy who planted the vineyard, who’s 89 now and planted them when he was around 15. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine confirmed for Thibaud that great Juliénas needs time - the wine spent a year in barrel and then a year in tank in the cellar before bottling. Thankfully he’s done the ageing for you - and I took the last of the 2018 as it’s drinking perfectly now. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo if you’re a fan of Burgundy reds, and want to try something new, this stunner should be on your list.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"WineSpark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53339714126155,"sku":"BSCVAY23","price":23.57,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/0645\/5483\/files\/WS-HighKey-0180_1.jpg?v=1734041397"},{"product_id":"domaine-de-boischampt-julienas-les-4-cerisiers-2023","title":"Domaine de Boischampt Juliénas Les 4 Cerisiers 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eThis is Thibaud’s flagship wine, and a great introduction to the Juliénas sub-region of Beaujolais.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s the perfect balance of the bright red fruit of the Gamay grape, and the earthiness of the ‘terroir’ of Juliénas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was the fifth year that Thibaud made this wine, and each year he’s made small improvements to make it better.
