Bottled directly at the estate by Anne and Pascal Guignet, this wine carries the Appellation Juliénas Contrôlée classification, marking it as one of the esteemed Crus of Beaujolais.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLocated in the northern part of Beaujolais, just south of Burgundy and bordering the Mâconnais, Juliénas is one of the ten designated cru villages. Named after Julius Caesar, the area was granted AOC status in 1938 and covers approximately 580 hectares of hillside vineyards with mixed exposure. The local continental climate features warm days and cool nights, creating significant diurnal temperature shifts. The vineyards benefit from well-draining soils composed of granite, schist, and clay-limestone, with deeper granite found in the higher parcels and alluvial soils in the lower sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine is made exclusively from Gamay, a traditional French grape variety that finds its historical homeland in the Beaujolais region, though it is also cultivated in areas like the Loire Valley. In Juliénas, the Gamay grape yields wines that are structurally positioned between the lighter crus of the region and the more robust ones. The appellation is recognized as a quality-oriented source for structured Gamay and is often considered one of the most underrated crus in Beaujolais.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine de la Combe-Darroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57684229357894,"sku":null,"price":105.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1752_3ec4b028-6303-48b6-be56-29e8af6e3d5e.jpg?v=1792749539","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/julienas-domaine-de-la-combe-darroux-1996","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
