Domaine du Clos du Fief Julienas Tradition 2020
92/100 Points, Robert Parker Jr.
Domaine du Clos du Fief is a fourth-generation Cru estate in Juliénas run by Michel Tête and his son Sylvain. The Tête family works the old-fashioned way, following quasi-Burgundian techniques for this wine, with a semi-carbonic maceration—where fermentation begins inside the grapes themselves to retain the Gamay’s freshness and to highlight the integrity of their 45-year-old vines.
Wine Enthusiast: "This ripe, juicy wine offers full blueberry fruits. It has a light structure, aiming more for generous fruits and balanced acidity. Drink now. " Apr 2022
Winery: "A nice ruby red hue, fruit aromas, predominantly blackcurrant. Velvety tannins. A good companion for red meats, spicy meals and cheeses with personality. Good aging potential."
