    Domaine des Chers Julienas Vieilles Vignes - Fantastic

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: March 22, 2022 Last Updated: January 17, 2023

    Now this is some good Beaujolais! The Domaine des Chers Julienas Vieilles Vignes from Arnaud Briday.

    Domaine des Chers Julienas Vieilles Vignes - Fantastic

    100% Gamay from vines averaging 65 years of age in the hillsides of Julienas, Beaujolais, France. The wine is whole bunch fermented using carbonic maceration and matured in cement vats for 6 months.

    Sample submitted for review. The Domaine des Chers Julienas Vieilles Vignes has an SRP of $23 and is available for as low as $17.

    From the winery:

    Garnet color, Julienas Vieilles Vignes is a round red wine, structured and balanced with aromas of blackcurrant , raspberry, violet and spice. It perfectly reflects the quality of the wines of Domaine des Chers. We produce in the best hillside of Julienas. This wine is made with 100% gamay. In the mouth, Julienas Vieilles Vignes is ample, elegant, very well-structured and balanced. It gives a great pleasure with friends or family and there are many wine pairings possible with this fun and accessible wine.

    13.5% Alcohol

    The 2019 Domaine des Chers Julienas Vieilles Vignes from Arnaud Briday begins with pleasing aromas of black cherry, strawberry and some floral notes plus a bit of that signature Beaujoalis bubble gum aroma and a touch of black pepper.

    It only takes one sip to know that this is some darn good Beaujolais! It's elegant but still features good depth on the juicy fruit. Touches of earthiness reveal themselves on the mid-palate and lead into the finish.

    Speaking of that finish, it's dry, smooth, a bit grippy, and quite long with lingering juicy fruit and some dusty tannins. This is lovely!
