"Brilliant ruby. Deeply pitched red and dark berry aromas are complicated by notes of candied violet, licorice and cola. Sappy and expansive on the palate, offering juicy black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that pick up spiciness with air. Closes taut and long, with sneaky tannins and lingering bitterness. Cédric Chignard told me that the key difference between Juliénas and Fleurie is the fact that the soil in Juliénas is blue granite and volcanic while at Fleurie it's pink granite."
