Bottled directly at the property by Anne and Pascal Guignet, this wine carries the Appellation Juliénas Contrôlée classification and is crafted from old vines, as indicated by the Vieilles Vignes designation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJuliénas is one of the ten designated Crus in the northern part of the Beaujolais region, situated just south of Burgundy on the border of the Mâconnais. Named after Julius Caesar, the area was granted AOC status in 1938 and encompasses approximately 580 hectares of vineyards planted on slopes with mixed exposure. The local climate is continental, characterized by cool nights and warm days, which creates significant diurnal temperature shifts. The soils provide excellent drainage and consist primarily of granite, schist, and clay-limestone, with deeper granite soils found in the higher parcels and more alluvial deposits in the lower areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is made exclusively from Gamay, a classic French grape variety that finds its historical homeland in the Beaujolais region, though it is also frequently cultivated in the Loire Valley. The granite subsoil of the region is particularly well-suited for this grape. Juliénas is widely recognized as an underrated Cru and a quality-oriented source for structured Gamay wines, positioning itself stylistically between the lighter Crus and the more robust appellations of the area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine de la Combe-Darroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57717183086918,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1796_fd7baf75-95bd-439c-90dd-f003c8caee6c.jpg?v=1793101779","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/julienas-domaine-de-la-combe-darroux-1996-1","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
