Les Levrons Juliénas Les Héritiers Thorin 1991
This 1991 red wine comes from the Les Levrons vineyard and is produced by Les Héritiers Thorin. It holds the Appellation Juliénas Contrôlée classification, representing one of the ten esteemed Cru villages in the Beaujolais region of France.
Located south of Burgundy, Beaujolais is the traditional homeland of the Gamay grape. While the region gained global recognition for its early-released wines, its true quality is anchored in the ten Cru villages. Juliénas, situated in the northern part of Beaujolais on the border of the Mâconnais, was named after Julius Caesar and achieved AOC status in 1938. The area covers approximately 580 hectares of hillside vineyards with mixed exposures. It is widely regarded as a quality-oriented and often underrated source for structured Gamay wines, positioned stylistically between the lighter and the most robust Crus of the region.
The climate in Juliénas is continental, characterized by cool nights and warm days. The altitude and varied exposure of the slopes create significant diurnal temperature shifts. The vines for this wine, specifically the Gamay Noir à jus blanc (Gamay Noir with white juice) variety, are planted in well-drained soils consisting of a granitic and schistous substratum. In this appellation, the higher-elevation parcels typically feature deep granite soils, while the lower areas transition into more alluvial compositions.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Beaujolais
Beaujolais south of Burgundy is the homeland of the Gamay grape. The area became world-famous for the young, fruity Beaujolais Nouveau, but the real quality lies in the ten cru villages such as Morgon and Fleurie. The granite subsoil yields juicy, light red wines with fresh acidity and aromas of red berries, flowers and spice. A classic and incredibly food-friendly French red wine region.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
