As we brace ourselves for the crush of this year's Beaujolais Nouveau, it's worth remembering that last year was the year that the region's most famous négociant described as “the vintage [that] may turn out to be the greatest vintage of my career.” It's not the nouveau that turns the “may” into a “will”—it's cru wines like this fragrant, intensely concentrated Juliénas. Here, sweet berry fruit fleshes out into a long, vibrant and persistent wine, one that lingers on the palate for an impossibly long time.
