“Cerisiers” because there are a number of old cherry trees planted among and around this 50-year-old vineyard. I suppose, by power of suggestion, you will also find cherry flavors in the wine, but I swear that is just coincidence. Is it? At any rate, Julienas is known for producing elegant, fruit-forward wines, not unlike a California Pinot Noir in this price range. No need to fuss or muss here. Pop and pour! Well, maybe pop two and pour, because this baby will disappear in a hurry. If not for Thanksgiving, then what? Coq au vin would be absolutely divine! Herb-roasted chicken is also a classic match.
James Suckling: 90 Points
Brimming with fresh black-cherry fruit, this light and crisp Julienas has a very engaging balance of full fruit, gentle tannin and lively acidity. Good length, thanks to those tannins!
