Description
- Maison Louis Latour selects the grapes for this wine from the steep hillsides of the area which boast an ideal southerly exposure. Juliénas is a wine that in the best years can rival the appellations of Moulin-à-Vent and Morgon for its power and finesse. Due to the hotter climate and the unique viticultural practices this Cru of Beaujolais has a very individual character which is enhanced by the traditional fermentation which it undergoes.
