Domaine Matray Juliénas Beaujolais 2022, A.C. Beaujolais, France

From a winemaking family spanning 5 generations, Lilian Matray, his wife Sandrine and his daughter Célia work the family estate. The estate buildings are in Juliénas, a charming little Beaujolais village, while the estate’s vines grow on 11 hectares of slopes that are not only in the Juliénas appellation area. The variety of the soils give the very typical, fruity Beaujolais aromas and flavours of each specific appellation. Juliénas “Vieilles Vignes” is a cuvée from a plot of Juliénas planted in 1939. This cuvée offers a full-bodied, silky and balanced wine with aromas of black fruits. Ageing in oak barrels brings a beautiful aromatic complexity.
