Juliénas Clos des Chers - Laurent Perrachon

Swiveling the wine glass, this red wine reveals a high density and fullness, which is evident in clear church windows at the edge of the glass. To the nose, this Laurent Perrachon red wine reveals all manner of blueberries, blackberries, mulberries and black currants. As if that were not already impressive, the aging in small wooden barrels adds other aromas such as oak, green peppers and garrigue.

On the palate, Laurent Perrachon's Juliénas Clos des Chers opens wonderfully aromatic, fruit-driven and balanced. Some wines are dry, others bone dry. This red wine belongs to the second group, because it was bottled with only 0.5 g of residual sugar. This light and silky red wine presents itself on the palate full of pressure and facets. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Juliénas Clos des Chers flatters with a soft mouthfeel, without lacking freshness at the same time. In the finish, this well storable from the wine-growing region of the Rhône Valley finally inspires with considerable length. Again, hints of blackberry and blueberry show. In the aftertaste, mineral notes of the soils dominated by granite and clay are added.
