August 30, 2022 - Faded yet clear cranberry and garnet color. Dark cherry and underbrush aromas. Bitter cherry flavor. Gentle, juicy, tiny bit of tannic grip and a soft acidic note to cleanse the palate. Feels like it has hit its peak. Pleasant wine.

September 8, 2020 - Gamay the natural grape from Beaujolias is a light red grape that can make refreshing wines. Having toured this region several times I came to select the villages whose Gamay wines I preferred and Julienas was always in my top 3. This really is a lovely representative of the village. Some may not enjoy the Gamay grape as it is very light, but drink it slightly chilled and it is a lovely refreshing wine. This is a very good Julienas.

August 8, 2020 - Not much has changed since my prior note, The wine is a typical Gamay, and good colour for a Gamay, very nice red. I didn't detect any sign of aging and I think will go beyond 2021 which I show as its window. Light and nice with the fish and potato pie I made for tonight.

Tannins are light, but acidity seems to provide the fabric which will keep this alive for a few more years. Best enjoyed with food, worked well with blackened Ahi Tuna. 90-91 points.

February 27, 2019 - Drank alongside the 2015 Morgon. This is a more typical Gamay from France, fairly high acidity quite light but a good representation. I actually preferred the Morgon to drink but it was a truly less representative wine from this region than this. I mark according to that criteria.
