Chateau Moulin Favre, Julienas "Le Centenaire", Beaujolais, France, 2022
{sustainable} Gamay
RASPBERRY & REDCURRANT, CRACKED STONE & SPICE
The wines of Juliénas, oft-regarded as one of the brightest points among the ten coveted Crus of Beaujolais, defy generalization but are often impressively deft balancers of complex, captivating perfume and sterner constitutions than we expect from southern Burgundy’s Gamay paradise. This one is assertively ripe and unapologetically full-bodied with lovely floral spice and cracked stone-like whispers of peppery smoke. The bold and the beautiful.
Serving Suggestions: Chettinad lamb curry w/ fennel, coriander, & cinnamon. Peking jackfruit pancakes w/ hoisin sauce.
