Michel Chignard is a modest perfectionist who has been practicing his craft for 4 decades. His son, Cédric, now oversees the domaine with as much care as his father. The Chignard family is fortunate to own vineyards in some of the best cru sites.
Tasting Notes
This is a gorgeous floral and fruity red; with aromas and flavours of strawberry, peach, violet and baking spices.
Method
This is Gamay from the Cru of Julienas. This Northern Beaujolais appellation was the site of ancient Roman vineyards and was named after Julius Caesar. The granite, volcanic and clay soils of Julienas impart power and structure to the wine and therefore, wines from this cru are often capable to develop in bottle. Domaine Chignard’s Julienas Beauvernay is made from hand harvested Gamay grapes. Vinification is natural and traditional; whole cluster fermentation in cement and stainless steel. The grapes are pressed after 6-8 days in vats. The wine is then aged in old oak barrels for 13 months, blended and bottled unfiltered and unfined.
Our Thoughts
Playful and complex, this wine is one to enjoy on the front porch or take on your first outdoor spring adventure. Enjoy with charcuterie, white meat or salmon. If able to resist, try putting in the cellar for up to 3-5yrs, and for those looking to try a natural wine, look no further!
