This “Cru” of Juliénas, a sub appellation of Beaujolais, acquits itself very well in this rendition, showing unusual structure and midpalate weight for a Gamay while delivering the expected sunny flavor profile. It would be a fine accompaniment for beef, chicken or fish, and good at room temperature as well as with a little chill.
