Cru Juliénas - Vins Perrachon

The Cru Juliénas est is a rich, dark wine. We proudly present two Juliénas, made with grapes from two different domains: the Château de la Bottière and the Domaine des Mouilles. We also make a Special Cuvee Julienas with grapes from 100 year old vines  "Vieilles Vignes"

Those wines have received numerous prizes and awards. The Chateau de la Bottiere received the Silver Medal at the Concours Général de Paris in 2009. The Domaine des Mouilles was awarded the Gold Medal at the Concours des Grands Vins du Beaujolais 2009 and was given 16/20 by Gerbelle & Maurange 2010. The Revue du Vin de France June 2010 has released its special edition on the 2009 Vintage, in which it qualifies it of "Grande Reussite". You can see our recent awards on the Reference page.
